Zephyrus’ passion lies in making healthcare inclusive and accessible to the LGBTQIA+ community. He joined the Fellowship to sharpen his skills and grow into a visionary leader.

As a doctor and active member of the LGBTQIA+ community in Hong Kong, Zephyrus’ goal is to build a more inclusive and accessible healthcare system for all. The experience of gender transition led him to access a range of healthcare services, which in turn nurtured his passion for diversity and inclusion in health. Furthermore, it deepened his understanding of the central role that health plays in allowing people to live their dreams and realize their potential.

Through Zephyrus’ combined experiences both on the giving and receiving ends of the doctor-patient relationship, he is particularly sensitive to the ways in which bias and discrimination plague the healthcare system, and contribute to poor health outcomes among members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Now, he is committed to empowering medical professionals with practical advice for how to best cater to patients from marginalized communities, as well as showing up for the trans and queer community as a vocal ally.

Outside his role as a doctor, Zephyrus is the current treasurer of the Hong Kong LGBT Medical Society, which spans a wide network of LGBTQIA+ healthcare professionals of various backgrounds and commits to offering LGBTQIA+ inclusive healthcare training to medical practitioners. In addition, he is the vice chairperson of Quarks, a local transgender youth organization focused on building community, promoting trans visibility and advocating for diversity and inclusion. Previously he has helped promote HIV self testing on various social media platforms, and helped organize a health forum on LGBTQIA+ health. He has also lectured on gender-inclusive healthcare services to healthcare professionals and students, and helped broadened the scope of transgender related content on AIDS Concern’s Dr. Rainbow’s Scheme. Through the Fellowship, he intends to better understand his own strengths and weaknesses, learn from mentors, and enrich his work as a community leader and doctor.

Zephyrus enjoys spending time with his friends in the local transgender community, sharing interests in activities like reading, rollerskating, and working out. He also sings in the choir.
