Ms Vivien Foong Yee Tang, a student of the Master of Public Policy and Management Program (MPPM) at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), recently published a paper in Health Policy, one of the leading international journals in the field. Entitled “Integration of health services for the elderly in Asia: a scoping review of Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia”, this paper is coauthored with Dr Alex Jingwei He, Associate Professor of the Department of Asian and Policy Studies of the EdUHK. This publication arises from a research project funded by the Asia-Pacific Observatory on Health Systems and Policies of the World Health Organization. Ms Tang has been participating in this project as a Research Assistant since 2020.

With a five-year impact factor of 2.707, Health Policy currently stands at Quartile 2 in the health policy and services category of the renowned Social Science Citations Index (SSCI). This paper also marks the third SSCI publication by the MPPM students, a marvelous achievement for students of a taught degree program. “Our MPPM program strives to provide dynamic and solid soil for bright master students to engage in cutting-edge policy research. Our faculty members generously offer research opportunities to motivated students and are keen to prepare them for professional career in not only public sector organizations but also research institutions”, Dr He remarked.
