HONG KONG MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

Origin/meaning

The Rod of Aescupalius symbolises the Medical Profession. The Wavy fess indicates the maritime location of Hong Kong. The Crest shows the Bauhinia blakeana the Flower of Hong Kong.

The Motto is translated into "Safeguarding public's health". Was suggested by the HKMA (then known as Hong Kong Chinese Medical Association, name changed in 1970) president 1952-1953 Dr Pang Hock Koo. HKMA also has the Motto in a latin version "Civium sanitatem servare".
