A group of volunteers from the Patient Resources Centre of Tuen Mun Hospital, who are also outpatients of the hospital, crocheted mooncake-shaped ornaments as handicrafted gifts to share their heartfelt blessings. These invaluable "handmade mooncakes" are sugar-free yet filled with delightful sweetness and love as rich as the full moon.
Volunteers from the Health Resource Centre of Caritas Medical Centre visited child patients in a Paediatrics and Adolescents ward and distributed lanterns along with get-well cards, in the hope of creating a festive atmosphere for patients during their hospitalisation.  
The management team at Kwai Chung Hospital has prepared red bean paste jelly mooncakes for distribution to inpatients during the Mid-Autumn Festival. A pureed version of the mooncakes has also been made for patients with swallowing difficulties, allowing them to enjoy this festive treat together.
