Professor Sophia Chan Receives Honorary Fellowship from the Royal College of Nursing in the UK
Recognition of Her Contributions to Nursing, Public Health and Primary Healthcare

We are delighted to announce that Professor Sophia Chan, Director of the HKU Primary Health Care Academy (PHCA) and Director of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Health and Nursing Workforce Development in Primary Health Care, has been awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in the United Kingdom in recognition of her outstanding contributions to nursing science, the nursing profession, public health, and health policy.

The RCN’s Honorary Fellowship is one of the College’s highest honours, conferred upon distinguished leaders who are not members of the College, in recognition of their exceptional contribution to the nursing profession. This international accolade further affirms Professor Chan’s longstanding dedication to advancing nursing development and improving population health.

We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved honour with Professor Chan.
