The FEHD runs the Health Education Exhibition and Resource Centre in Kowloon Park, Tsim Sha Tsui, and the Communication Resource Centre at the Fa Yuen Street Municipal Services Building in Mong Kok to educate the public on the importance of food safety and environmental hygiene.

The department also organises outreach educational programmes, consisting of talks, exhibitions and other activities. During the year, 2 801 health talks were given to the general public and various target groups, including food handlers, school children, foreign domestic helpers, the elderly and new arrivals to Hong Kong. A vehicle was used as a mobile education centre to help publicise the importance of good hygiene.

To encourage community involvement in keeping Hong Kong clean, the department also allocated $1.8 million to 18 District Councils to organise publicity campaigns.
