Director's Message

The School of Public Health of the University of Hong Kong is dedicated to promoting health, extending healthy years for all, and reducing global health disparities. We advance this mission through four interconnected pillars. First, we conduct innovative research with real world impact, addressing local and global health challenges ranging from emerging infectious diseases, healthy ageing, non communicable diseases, mental health, air pollution, tobacco control, primary healthcare enhancement, behavioural sciences, psycho oncology, and the social determinants of health. Second, we translate research into evidence based policy advocacy, public health action, and community initiatives that strengthen population health locally, regionally, and globally. Third, we educate and empower future public health leaders, researchers, and practitioners through rigorous academic training, practical fieldwork, and mentorship grounded in equity and inclusion. Finally, we build strong collaborations with communities, international health authorities, NGOs, governments, and other partners to expand our research and educational impact and advance sustainable progress toward health.

We are a small but impactful School situated in a vibrant city bridging East and West. We welcome you to connect with us and collaborate toward healthier, more equitable societies for all.
