The conference will provide a timely platform for discussing the emerging issues in public health, educational strategies for the future and to identify shared interests and joint ventures in research, service, education and training with all experts and partners in the field. Plenary lectures will be delivered by prominent figures in the field from different countries including Hong Kong, Mainland China, USA, UK and Australia. We believed that experience sharing and cross-fertilisation of knowledge plays a critical role in tackling the emerging issues, and our concurrent sessions would provide a platform for public health professionals and researchers from all over the world to present their research results and encourage information sharing.
