PolyU and The George Institute Forge Strategic Partnership to Advance Global Health and Smart Ageing
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is pleased to announce the formalisation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with The George Institute for Global Health, establishing a collaborative framework to address the evolving challenges of global ageing. The agreement was signed by Prof. ZHENG Yongping, Director of Research Institute for Smart Ageing (RISA), and Prof. Manuela Ferreira, Program Head at The George Institute .
This partnership brings together the multidisciplinary research strengths of RISA and The George Institute’s world-class expertise in health systems. The collaboration will focus on advancing evidence-based care for musculoskeletal conditions, such as low back pain and sarcopenia, through joint clinical trials and the development of innovative digital health solutions. By facilitating faculty exchanges and the co-supervision of graduate students, both institutions are committed to fostering an international environment of knowledge exchange that will ultimately enhance the quality of care and life for ageing populations worldwide.
