As the highlight of School of Public Health's 20th anniversary celebration, the School hosted the Public Health Forum 2024 entitled 'Past, Present, and Future of Public Health' on 27 January 2024. The Forum reviewed important lessons learned from previous public health challenges, such as infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases and primary healthcare, and explored how these lessons can guide solutions to current and future public health concerns.
Six distinguished scholars were invited to share their insights and inspirations on these emerging and prevailing health issues. The Forum brought together more than 150 participants from various institutions, government agencies, and professional colleges. A student poster session with 44 posters were also displayed, showcasing the research and findings of our next-generation public health professionals. An Award Presentation was held towards the end of the Forum to honour winners of the School’s Mascot Nicknaming Competition and student poster session. The winners were as follows:
