Master of Public Health student, Lydia (2nd from the left here, amongst her fellow interns!), says her professional placement with the #WHO Collaborating Centre at UTS perfectly aligned with her interests in maternal child health & workforce development 🧒🌏 “Ultimately, I learned a lot through this placement! A key project I worked on was a research task on the vital role of nursing & Universal Health Coverage to the Western Pacific Region… Not every country in the Region has the same health workforce resources as we do. There is a need for capacity building to under-resourced countries to strengthen health & respond to priority health challenges, particularly the high rate of maternal deaths.”

❤️😁 “The smiling faces and better health outcomes from my clients have always given me the greatest sense of accomplishment.” This week, our Heart of Health is Shannon Lin, Lecturer and Course Coordinator for the Graduate Certificate in Diabetes Education and Management. 10 years ago, Shannon completed the course she’s now coordinating. What inspires her to keep learning and growing? “My clients are always my inspiration – they are juggling between family, work, study and other commitments every day, 365 days per year without a single day off from their diabetes for the rest of their life. Hats off to them!" 🤩❤️
