| Patients with different forms of rare bone diseases (little people) face many difficulties because of incorrect community perception, and school and public facilities that are not appropriate for their use. LPHK has partnered with The University of Hong Kong to organize the "Little People Care Alliance" program. Through mentorship programme, dialogues, workshops and a specialized information booklet, we aim to change this perception for a better community understanding of the needs of the “little people” and the role of school teachers and students． |   |
