A New Milestone for Public Health Excellence

The Inaugural Induction Ceremony of the Zeta Alpha, Delta Omega Chapter of the School of Public Health was held on January 24, 2026, as part of the School’s annual Public Health Forum. This significant occasion marked the official establishment of the Delta Omega Honorary Society in Public Health Chapter at the University of Hong Kong, a distinguished honorary society dedicated to recognising and promoting excellence in public health scholarship, leadership, and service.

The ceremony opened with remarks by Dr Polly Wong, Senior Lecturer and Master of Public Health (MPH) Deputy Programme Director. Dr Wong introduced the Delta Omega Honorary Society, outlining its background, mission, and core values, and emphasised its commitment to advancing academic and professional accomplishment, promoting the application of research to public health practice, and nurturing a devoted community of public health professionals and scholars.

Following the introduction, Professor David Bishai, our School Director and Clinical Professor, officiated the induction of the Chapter’s inaugural cohort. All ten inductees are MPH graduates, recognised for their outstanding academic achievements, professional accomplishments, and meaningful contributions to the field of public health. Their achievements reflect the School’s strong commitment to excellence in education, research, and service, as well as its dedication to improving population health locally, regionally, and globally.

During the ceremony, certificates were presented to the inductees. The establishment of the Zeta Alpha Chapter at the School marks an important milestone in fostering leadership, integrity, and service within our academic community.
