The Buddies Scheme is the first program ever in Hong Kong where you can pair-up one-on-one with patients with rare genetic diseases. The scheme aims to connect MPS patients and the public at large as buddies, gain financial support from the community to cover over the million-dollar medication cost per patient each year, and raise awareness to rare genetic diseases as well as the needs of patients who live with such diseases. It is co-organized by our group and final year students majoring in English for Professional Communication at the City University of Hong Kong.
