Introduction
(English version is not available)
香港衛聰聯會是於一九九七年六月一日成立,是職業性失聰工友自務組織而成的社團組織,機構主旨是發揮病患者之間互助自助精神,強調病患者彼此間的關懷友愛。
同時,機構工作目標也著重在預防職業噪音及協助病患者爭取權益方面,病患者亦成為預防推廣活動的義工,前往不同的工場向前線的在職工人宣傳預防職業性失聰的訊息。
此外,權益爭取是機構一直也不遺餘力的會務之一,現行的職業性失聰補償法例的不合理及不公平,令到仍然有不少年紀老邁的職業性失聰病患者,因為過了政府訂定追溯期,以及離職太久而缺乏職業證明而未能合附申請資格,而未能獲得應有的補償,我們香港衛聰聯會就是要團結病患者的力量,為每一個職業性失聰病患者也取得應有補償而努力。
