Dr Lam Tai-fai attached a wish card inscribed with the number “50” on the PolyU Wishing Tree, stating his hope that the University would rank among top 50 universities in the world. He also expressed understanding of Hong Kong’s fiscal deficit and emphasised the importance of standing together with the HKSAR government during challenging times. However, he hopes the government will consider all the possible resolutions when pushing through a cut in higher education funding. He acknowledged that such a cut will undoubtedly impact PolyU’s development, but the University has prepared a range of solutions, including finding ways to save resources. He also noted that PolyU has been developing well in recent years and will not halt its progress. The University is committed to forging ahead, striving for excellence, and continuing to recruit talent to enhance education.

Prof. Jin-Guang Teng stated that PolyU targets to submit its proposal to the HKSAR government for the establishment of the third medical school on time. With over 45 years of extensive experience in healthcare education, PolyU has trained over 52,000 graduates across various healthcare professions, playing a pivotal role in the development of Hong Kong’s medical system. The University offers programmes in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, radiotherapy, optometry, medical laboratory science, speech therapy and nursing. Supported by a robust team of over 1,300 healthcare-related teaching and research staff and equipped with more than 90 specialised laboratories and research facilities, PolyU ensures the efficient and cost-effective training of medical professionals. The University also plans to establish an “AI+ Academy”, with focus on pioneering research in AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment. He believes that PolyU is well-equipped to establish a medical school, leveraging its advantage in medicine-engineering integration to advance healthcare technology and meet the medical needs of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
