2023 Asia Pacific Alliance for Health Leaders (APAHL) Forum

The School hosted the 2023 APAHL Forum, a four-day event on the theme of Healthy Ageing in Action through Healthcare Education, Practice, and Research.

The event attracted 46 participants, including 21 students and 12 faculty members from four schools in Japan, Thailand, and Malaysia, as well as 13 HKU Nursing teachers and students. They discussed important issues related to healthy ageing and engaged in community experiential learning and visits to our clinical laboratory.

Professor Parco Siu Ming-fai from the School of Public Health, together with Professor Doris Yu Sau-fung and Dr Patsy Chau Pui-hing from the School of Nursing, delivered special lectures to the participants.

Students also enjoyed intellectual and cultural exchanges, while faculty members from the five universities also discussed the details of the next forum, to be held next year in Bangkok, and other collaboration opportunities.

Apart from HKU, the participating Universities included Yamaguchi University of Japan; International Medical University of Malaysia; Chiang Mai University and Mahidol University of Thailand.
