We are delighted to have received a delegation from the Ministry of Health, Honduras on 9 January 2025 during their visit to Hong Kong.
Hosted by the GX Foundation led by Professor Emily Chan, the delegation had a robust discussion with JCSPHPC Director Samuel Wong, academic representatives, and members from the Collaborating Centre for Oxford University and CUHK for Disaster and Medical Humanitarian Response (CCOUC). They exchanged views on public and environmental health challenges faced by the country and shared experiences in combating dengue fever epidemics.
During their visit to multiple healthcare and public service institutions in Hong Kong, the delegates gained insights into the city's emergency management model, which has remarkable referential value for Honduras’s response system. The visit was organised under the "Project for Health Protection against Dengue Fever" launched by the GX Foundation in Honduras.
We hope the delegation had a pleasant and fruitful visit to Hong Kong.
Prof. Emily Chan is the CEO of GX Foundation. She also serves as the Director of the Collaborating Centre for Oxford University and CUHK for Disaster and Medical Humanitarian Response (CCOUC), the Centre for Global Health (CGH), the Centre of Excellence (ICoE-CCOUC) of Integrated Research on Disaster Risk (IRDR), and Deputy Director of the CUHK Jockey Club Multi-Cancer Prevention Programme.
