Vision 2025 TAIPEIWAY Symbiotic Community＿University of Taipei
Africa is the priority region for the progress towards Sustainable Development Goals, and it is also the region with the most severe health and economic inequities, as well as environmental pollution. This project aims to take students to Africa to participate in collaboration projects, in order to expand their horizons, and bring National Taiwan University’s (NTU) social responsibility to the world.
This project is based on the long-term collaboration established by NTU’s College of Public Health in Malawi, Kenya and other countries in Africa in the past decade, combining the resources from multiple stakeholders such as faculty and students, alumni, international public health experts, and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Through field participation, we aim to cultivate the global health practical experience, international vision, and the culture and humanities knowledge of NTU faculty and students. The project is expected to begin from the College of Public Health, expanding to other colleges and departments, to promote the participation of all NTU faculty and students. Through multi-discipline collaboration, we would be able to propose ideas that are both scientifically-base and practical, that could help promote the population health of African countries we collaborate with, and implement the global health ideology of “one health”.
Through this project, the faculty and students of NTU can gain a deeper understanding of foreign cultures, and promote sustainable health through practical experiences, using scientific evidence as the basis to reduce the risk of community diseases by establishing clean drinking water systems and circular agriculture. We expect the implementation of this project at NTU will initiate “localization of global health” – providing executable health promotion methods by fusing Taiwan’s experiences with local practices; “community collaboration” – invite local colleges and government health administration to collaborate, and improve resident’s life quality at a community level; and “community-centered” - concrete implementation of SDGs including local health, clean drinking water, no hunger, and education.
During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, governments have made epidemic prevention a priority, and invested all their public health personnel and funding into this global health crisis. In response to the formal request of our long-term collaborator Luke International Norway (LIN), our project formed an undergraduate student team to actively participated in the investigation and control of the epidemic in Malawi, by integrating Taiwan’s non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) policies for the reference of the local government, and coordinate the resources such as home quarantine packages, hospital personal protective equipment (PPE), health promotion posters, and social distancing promotion stickers. Under the guidance of Prof. Chang-Chuan Chan and LIN Malawi representative and NTU public health alumnus Joseph Wu, the students involved in this project first compiled the Taiwan Model of COVID-19 prevention strategies into a video for the reference of the local government. As the number of students involved gradually expanded, they gradually developed a more organized group including the leader group, health promotion group, package development group, logistics group, public relations group, and evaluation group, etc. Through actual participation, students can understand Malawi’s health system and policy planning, assist Malawi’s implementation of Taiwan Model to achieve COVID-19 prevention and control, and allow students to put what they learnt in school to use, applying their public health knowledge to practice while fulfilling their university social responsibility.
