History |
Preemie｡ｦs Parents Support Group was founded as ｡ｧTsan Yuk Hospital and Queen Mary Hospital Preemie｡ｦs Support Group｡ｨ in 1994 by a group of enthusiastic parents with the support and guidance of the hospital｡ｦs professionals. Their NICU-discharged babies now lead normal healthy lives. PPSG was established to provide parents of new NICU babies a channel to exchange experiences and opinions; emotional and psychological support during their stressful time. To enhance further development and to achieve our goal, PPSG was formally registered under the Societies Ordinance of Hong Kong in 2007. To view our bylaws, please click here.
