Tung Wah College and Auxiliary Medical Services sign MoU to promote all-round development of youth and nurture healthcare professionals
10/08/2024

Tung Wah College (TWC) and the Auxiliary Medical Service (AMS) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) today (10 August) to collaborate on promoting youth development and nurturing more outstanding healthcare professionals for Hong Kong by providing multi-faceted learning and exchange activities.

Witnessed by Mr Cheuk Hau Yip, PDSM, JP, the Under Secretary for Security, and Mr Tseng Hing Yip York, Chairman of College Council of TWC, the MOU was signed by Professor Sally Chan, President of TWC, and Mr Wong Ying Keung, Chief Staff Officer of AMS.

Under the new partnership, TWC will hold academic seminars and workshops for AMS members and cadets, and provide medical and healthcare training, life planning, and information on the healthcare sector. This will increase young people’s understanding of healthcare and public health, helping them plan their future early and contribute their professional knowledge to society. Meanwhile, AMS will also provide community service opportunities for TWC students, helping them apply what they have learned, as well as enhance their professional skills, team spirit, and emergency response capabilities.

Addressing the ceremony, Mr. Cheuk said the two parties would strengthen collaboration, especially in the areas of medical and health sciences and nursing, to deepen the cadets’ understanding of healthcare professions and inspire them to pursue careers in the industry. TWC has been actively connected with medical and academic institutions in Mainland to exchange programme and training ideas. By signing the MOU, AMS intends to further the tripartite collaboration in healthcare and talent cultivation between AMS, TWC, and mainland institutions, giving the cadets a better understanding and awareness of the Country's advancements in healthcare and other fields.

Professor Sally Chan said that AMS's active support of youth development through the Cadet Corps aligns well with TWC's goal of nurturing the next generation of healthcare professionals. Through collaboration with AMS, she believed that both parties could leverage each other's strengths to help young people gain a deeper understanding of healthcare industries, recognise the cooperation among various healthcare professions, and explore their career development paths for better planning of their further studies and careers.

Mr. York Tseng emphasised that TWC’s outstanding scholars have been actively engaged in research and contributions in the fields of healthcare, nursing, and mental health. They have been raising public awareness of personal health and leading students to participate in community service and contribute to society. The AMS has extensive experience in community service, and this collaboration is expected to foster an in-depth exchange of knowledge and experience between the two parties, making a significant contribution to the development of healthcare and a better society in Hong Kong.
