The Auxiliary Medical Service Volunteer Team (AMSVT) was established in 2002, with a view to providing medical, first aid and health education to those in need. In order to organise and provide different kinds of services more effectively, the AMSVT was reorganised in 2019 and listed as a tax-exempt charity in 2021. Members of the AMSVT include a group of current and retired members, staff of the Headquarters and their family members who are enthusiastic about community and charity services. The AMSVT works with external organisations to orgainse, plan and implement various voluntary projects. Aiming to better serve different social groups, the AMSVT also provides members with appropriate training, support and volunteering opportunities.

The work of the AMSVT covers both “community services” and “community education”:

1. cooperate with local groups in organising visits to elderly living alone, including those living in housing estates, tenement buildings, outlying islands, remote areas, etc. and conveying messages on home safety and basic first aid;
2. organise medical and health education events for grass-root families, single-parent families and their children;
3. help racial minorities and persons with disabilities integrate into the community;
4. organise different types of health education events and first aid talks to disseminate health information to the public;
5. 5. provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to enhance participants’ skills and confidence;
6. organise anti-drug thematic talks in schools and youth centres; and
7. organise group events for secondary students to promote mental health.
