CW Chu College was invited to nominate Medicine students to join the CUHK Joint College Medical Team for a service and learning trip to Watoto, Uganda between 19 June and 1 July 2013. Three of our Medicine students, namely Miss Fung Wing Ming, Miss Mak Hoi Ying Stephenie and Miss Tsang Wai Tak, volunteered to participate in this service trip. During the trip, the medical team offered medical services and healthcare education for residents in local villages, aside from giving training sessions for healthcare personnel in babies' home at Watoto.
In support of students' participation in this meaningful programme, each of the three students was awarded a College scholarship of $10,000. The trip offered great learning opportunities. The students assisted doctors in local clinics by taking examinations of patients, writing prescription etc. Through working with senior medical professionals and local medical staff on the frontline, they gained a lot of hands-on experiences. To share their experiences and inspirations from the service trip, the three students will host a session during communal dinner in this semester.
