The Guild of St. Luke, St. Cosmas and St. Damian Hong Kong (香港天主教醫生協會) was founded in 1953 as a result of a desire on the part of local Catholic Medical practitioners (Hong Kong Catholic Doctors) and dentists to have a group to which they could relate. We aim at facilitating the intercourse between Catholic members of the medical profession of Hong Kong with a view to the study and discussion of bioethical issues, and of upholding the principles of Catholic morality. We discuss our problems that we face in daily practice with the intention of deciding them along the lines of our faith.
The importance of medical ethics is always highlighted in catholic doctors. Meetings and seminars are organized for members and public to promote their awareness and to clarify misconceptions. Comments will be submitted to state our stand in response to the consultation papers on bioethics-related issues from the Government.
We are a member of the Asian Federation of Catholic Medical Associations (AFCMA) and International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations (FIAMC). We are also a founding member of the Federation of Medical Societies of Hong Kong, an executive committee member of the Birthright Society and the regular member of Hong Kong Central Council of Catholic Laity (香港天主教教友總會).
We work closely with Hong Kong Catholic Nurses Guild (天主教護士會)and Diocesan Commission for Hospital Pastoral Care (醫院牧民委員會). We jointly organize the annual Medical Sunday Mass (on the Sunday nearest to St. Luke's feastday, Oct. 18th), which was started as Hospital Sunday Mass in 1969. We pray for the sick, all health care workers and all departed souls. We also remind our vocation - to help the sick and the poor.
