About the Standing Committee on Public
Health:
The Standing Committee of Public Health (SCOPH) is the newest standing
committee of AMSAHK. AMSAHK SCOPH primarily aims to raise awareness amongst
medical students, health professionals and the society on public health
issues around the world, through various local projects as well as international
expeditions.
SCOPH emphasizes the importance of education and training of medical students who play their roles in improving public health and promoting a healthy lifestyle to the general public. As a regional division of the IFMSA SCOPH - one of the earliest and most important standing committees in the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA) - AMSAHK SCOPH strives to work together with IFMSA as an international team to make an impact on the community, local and beyond.
Our Mission: Improving public health globally for a healthier tomorrow.
Activities in the Local Level:
- Through an interactive public workshop based our current theme - Food
Safety - we will raise awareness to the general public of all ages on
the complications of salt and sugar over-consumption and educate them
on how to manage and control their daily intake.
- The Teddy Bear Hospital is a well-received
project which has been running in many countries, including Germany, Holland,
Portugal, Sweden, Poland, Slovenia, U.K. This project targets young children,
with the goal to reduce their fear of hospitals and doctors through a
lively and playful approach. At the same time, the project provides an
invaluable opportunity for medical students to work with children and
learn more about paediatrics care.
Global Activites:
- Medical students will get to travel overseas for international health
projects in the very near future and make a difference to the community
beyond the territory.
