Interdisciplinary and Composite Talents in Medicine, Disease Prevention and Control, and Management Training Programme
Promoting Deeper Integration and Synergy in Medical and Health Development Across the Two Regions

Our School recently hosted the inaugural ‘Institute of Philanthropy Medical and Health Scholarship-cum-Fellowship for Top Talent in the Mainland: Interdisciplinary and Composite Talents in Medicine, Disease Prevention and Control, and Management Training Programme’, bringing together senior management officials from Mainland China’s healthcare system for an intensive three-week training course.

We were honoured to welcome Mr Leung Chun-ying, Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), former Chief Executive of the HKSAR, and Chairman of GX Foundation, to join the Exchange Session at HKU. Mr Leung shared GX’s mission and objectives, as well as its achievements in delivering international humanitarian aid across eight Belt and Road countries.

He emphasised, ‘As Chinese people, we now have the capacity to extend our reach globally with the spirit of connectivity and shared prosperity, working together to build a global community of health for all.’ His vision deeply inspired all participants.

Additionally, Mr Lester Huang, Chairman of the Institute of Philanthropy, graced the event with his presence and met with the participants.

Supported by the Institute of Philanthropy Medical and Health Scholarship-cum-Fellowship for Top Talent in the Mainland, our School aims to use this training programme to enhance collaboration and exchanges between mainland China and Hong Kong in the healthcare sector, thus contributing to the long-term development of the nation’s public health. This initiative not only provides a valuable platform for healthcare professionals from both regions to exchange knowledge and expertise, but also further promotes deeper integration and synergy in medical and health development across the two regions.
