Synopsis:

Sustainable Development is a global agenda, namely Agenda 2030 – Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG 3 specifically focuses to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Including public health as a critical component to healthcare globally. To ensure that SDGs are integrated firmly in public healthcare practices in fulfilling Agenda 2030, a stepwise approach is proposed as a tried and tested initiative at a local campus. In addition, a long-forgotten indigenous concept (sejahtera) was reintroduced. The presentation will share and elaborate on the action taken for implementation.

See you!

Sincerely yours

The Dr Wu Lien-Teh Society, Penang

“It was in this house that I, the fourth son and eighth child of the family, was born before dawn on a Monday, the eighteenth day of the Second Moon in the fifth year of Emperor Kuang Hsu, corresponding to March 10, 1879, of the Gregorian calendar. My elder sisters and the shop assistants used to tell me, as soon as I could understand their talk, that I was born under a lucky shining moon, for the date was the eighteenth day of the second moon and the hour was three o’clock in the morning. The overhanging clouds had drifted away and the moon seemed brighter than usual in the dark sky. There was apparently no difficulty in the delivery, or subsequent complication. “
