Outreach Service

About

Summer Outreach 2018 aims at providing basic health check services and medication safety information for the elderly. Students from the Faculty of Medicine and Department of Social Work will take part in this program. The focus areas of Summer Outreach 2018 include:

  • Atrial Fibrillation

  • Medication Safety

  • Dementia

  • Anti-microbial Resistance (AMR)​

We also hope to train Champ (secondary school students) with a better understanding of needs of the elderly and educate them to deliver health-related knowledge effectively.
