Hello everyone! I’m David, currently a part-time Year 1 MPH student with the focus on Health Economics, Policy, and Management. In addition to my study, I work as a speech therapist and graduated from The University of Hong Kong (HKU).
As an allied health professional, I have served in both private and public healthcare settings, providing outreach and center-based services. Working with diverse populations—including preschoolers, school-aged children, adults, and the elderly—has given me insight into the limitations and challenges of the current healthcare system. I've observed issues including the uneven distribution of resources, fragmentation of services, and insufficient emphasis on preventive care, which can lead to health inequities. Motivated by the desire to contribute to the reform of our healthcare system, I decided to embark on this learning journey in MPH program, believing it will equip me with the insights necessary for developing holistic healthcare approaches.
I feel deeply honored to have been granted the UGC Targeted TPg Fellowships. This prestigious support not only alleviates some financial burdens but also serves as a significant motivation for me to dedicate more time and effort to my studies. It has enhanced my appreciation for every opportunity to learn in the lectures.
One of the aspects I enjoy most about my MPH experience is engaging in meaningful discussions with both my professors and classmates. These interactions have enriched my understanding by exposing me to diverse perspectives and experiences. I particularly appreciate learning from others' thought processes and the various paths they take to reach conclusions. Through this program, I feel I am gaining a broader worldview through the lens of public health, which I find incredibly fulfilling.
Upon completing my MPH, I aspire to work on both individual and community levels by improving service delivery models, fostering better multidisciplinary collaboration, and emphasising preventive care. With an open mindset, I am eager to enact changes in healthcare services at both policy and system levels, transitioning my career to facilitate these transformations. I believe that my multifaceted expertise will enable me to drive systemic changes and contribute to the sustainable health development of HK.
