The ‘140 for 140’ global recruitment campaign has resumed in earnest to attract top talent to our Faculty. This has been helped by the University’s support for our proposal to earmark a very generous HK$500 million donation from Dr Daniel Yu and Mrs Mayce Yu for a host of medical development initiatives, including global recruitment and clinical research. So far, we have had roadshows to several key overseas cities, including Orlando, Melbourne, Sydney, and London. The turnout has been encouraging. For instance, in Australia, we met with everyone from specialists, nurses and pharmacists to academics, scientists and students. We also aroused the interest of many potential recruits, who told us how impressed they were with our physical campus development and many achievements. The trip was also a great opportunity to reconnect with HKUMed alumni and former staff. 13
