In July 2018, a pilot programme was pioneered with MBBS students and students of the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) to learn more about poverty alleviation through health, as first proposed by President Xi Jinping himself. Recently the National Health Commission asked HKU to participate in this project as a trailblazer. The 10-day programme was an eye-opener. Students of both institutions jointly visited the PUMC Hospital, which was ranked the top hospital in the country from 2009 to 2017 and has about 5,000 medical staff, then headed to Yonghe County in the southwest of Shanxi province, one of the four poorest in the country where hospitals and clinics struggle with resource challenges and staff shortages. “We are two of the very top medical schools in the country and this was an opportunity to deepen our integration,” Professor Leung said. The success of that goal was reflected in comments by Tsui Yat-yan (Medic '22): “This trip showed me the less glamourous side of China and the genuine relationship between the land and the people. I was also grateful to meet top-notch medical students from the Mainland and I was pleasantly surprised by their humility and the similarities that we share as medical students. Visiting villages and local medical facilities side- by-side with them allowed us to grow closer as a community and enriched our understanding of each other.” 5
