The Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care (JCSPHPC) of the Chinese University of Hong Kong was founded in 2001 as the first school of public health in Hong Kong. It is the only School in Hong Kong where public health practitioners and researchers work alongside with family medicine doctors and primary care researchers to identify, examine and solve population health problems together. Our mission is to contribute to the improvement of the health of populations locally, nationally and internationally through excellence in research, teaching and training in public health, and collaborative efforts with worldwide partners from relevant disciplines and institutions. Teaching and research disciplines can be further divided into Environmental and Occupational Health & Infectious Diseases; Epidemiology and Biostatistics; Health Systems, Policy and Management; Health Promotion and Social Behaviour and Population and Global Health.
