Guangdong keen to take care of seniors from SARs

A political adviser from Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, has urged departments in the southern metropolis to strengthen cooperation with their counterparts in the elderly care sector in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions in order to connect their respective medical and social security systems.

The aim of the proposal is to make it more convenient for elderly residents of Hong Kong and Macao to settle in Guangzhou and enjoy retirement there, explained Shirley Tsang, a Hong Kong member of the Guangzhou Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

"The expansion of medical care cooperation for the elderly among the three regions will benefit everyone," said Tsang, who is western projects general manager and director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office at Clifford Group, a Hong Kong company involved in property development, medical services, education and investment.
