As a registered nurse and current first-year student in the MPH program at HKU, specializing in Epidemiology and Biostatistics, I bring a unique perspective to the field of public health.
In my current role as a project leader with an NGO in Sai Kung, I oversee the implementation of mobile primary health services in rural areas. This position has provided invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities in delivering healthcare to underserved populations.
My decision to pursue an MPH was driven by a firm belief in universal health access and informed by my experiences in Sai Kung. The program's core values - effective learning through shared experiences, diversity and inclusiveness, and evidence-based approaches - align closely with my professional ethos and the realities I've encountered in Sai Kung.
Receiving the UGC Targeted TPg Fellowship was a significant milestone. This recognition not only provides financial support but also serves as a powerful motivator in my HKUMPH journey. It has instilled a deeper sense of responsibility and commitment to excel in my coursework.
The MPH program has been intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding. The opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals who share a commitment to public health has been particularly enriching. Additionally, the expertise and support of the faculty have been instrumental in expanding my understanding of complex public health issues.
Upon completion of the MPH, I aim to leverage my advanced knowledge and skills to develop and implement more comprehensive primary healthcare programs for rural areas. My long-term objective is to contribute to evidence-based policy-making that addresses healthcare disparities and promotes “Health for All” access to health services.
This educational journey represents more than personal development; it's an investment in the capacity to effect meaningful change in community health. I look forward to applying these learnings to create tangible improvements in public health outcomes.
