Student Voice - Lau Chi Fung

My name is Ivan, currently a part time MPH student in the concentration of Health Economics, Policy and Management (HEPM). Apart from being a student, I am a pharmacist at Tsuen Wan District Health Centre. I have been working in Hospital Authority for few years. During my service, I noticed several challenges the Hong Kong healthcare system is facing including long service waiting time, high bed occupancy and healthcare staff shortage. I really want to do something about it as a healthcare professional.

I am so honoured to candidate for the UGC Targeted TPg Fellowship. The fellowship not only recognizes my academic achievements but also provides financial support to pursue further studies. One of the aspects I enjoy the most is the interdisciplinary approach to learning. It has been incredibly rewarding to learn from people in different countries or different positions.

I believe MPH program would help me to advance my career further. Most importantly, equipped me with skills related to healthcare policy.
