Message from Chairman of Chow Tai Fook Charity Foundation

As the Dr Cheng Yu Tung Fellowships programme marks its 20th anniversary, I am very pleased to see the young and promising medical professionals returning to Mainland China with more knowledge and better skills. Over the years, many remarkable fellows have taken a leading role in their home institutions and contributed to their respective fields.

Through this long-term collaboration, we are honoured to play a part in enhancing the quality and effectiveness of the clinical service, scientific research and medical education on the mainland. Focusing on clinical training, the scholarship programme nurtures clinicians on a professional and personal level.

The Dr Cheng Yu Tung Fellowships symposium is a reunion of current and previous fellows for exchange of knowledge and experience. Just like a family, I encourage all the fellows to maintain close ties, to learn from one another, share what you know, raise the bar together, and to be a mentor and seize every opportunity to pass along your knowledge to the next generation.

We also need to make quality health care accessible and affordable to the less fortunate. Remember that your wholehearted dedication to medical development can make a lasting impact on people’s lives, put a smile on their face and give them hope.

Last but not least, I would like to congratulate the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine on its 130 years of legacy in leading the advancement of health care in Hong Kong and beyond. May this milestone lead to greater achievements in the years to come!

Mr Peter Cheng
Chairman
