Congratulations to our faculty on their leadership in global health advancement!

We are proud to share that the School, represented by Asst Prof Jasper Tromp, has been appointed as the lead Thematic Partner with the Asia Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies (APO) to focus research on the theme of “Models of sustainable financing, commissioning, delivering, and harmonising, people-centred services including primary health care to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC)”.

In parallel, we would also like to highlight that the School, represented by Assoc Prof Yi Siyan, will be co-Leading another APO thematic partnership with the School of Public Health from Fudan University on the theme of “Tackling inequities in health due to gender, social inequities, being uncounted, or unreached”. The research will focus on advancing equity, people-centred care, and resilient health systems through integrated primary health care, empowered communities, cross-sector collaboration, and sustainable service delivery.

Their contributions reflect the School’s commitment to shaping evidence-informed health systems in the region.
