During the time of the Coronavirus pandemic, the establishment of the School of Public Health and Emergency Management is an important deployment of Southern University of Science and Technology and the Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission to respond to major global public health issues, and address the "Healthy China" strategy . The school is focused on cross-disciplinary, cutting-edge research according to the public health need of Shenzhen and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area. School of Public Health and Emergency Management has maintained close collaboration with its co-founding institutes: Shenzhen Municipal Health Commission, Shenzhen Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Clinical Research Center for Infectious Diseases (No.2 Affiliated Hospital of SUSTech) and etc., which provide tremendous opportunities for engagement in interdisciplinary research with frontline medical and public health experts.It is committed to becoming a dual base for the training of backbone talents in the field of public health in China and international high-level scientific research, a new think tank and a model of international cooperation and a cutting-edge applied discipline serving economic construction and social development.
Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting physical and mental health through policy formulation, evaluation, and safeguards.
Since the 21st century, with the acceleration of global aging and human production activities, the environment of human existence has become more complex and changeable, and people's demand for disease prevention and health care services will be higher and higher, and the forms will be more diverse.
Innovation
Highlight the cultivation of compound public health talents and strengthen the construction system of "integrated emerging disciplines" in emergency management
Openness
Establish a long-term good information communication mechanism with the government, domestic and foreign public health and emergency management education institutions, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the business community, and the public
Informatization
Establish alliances with high-tech enterprises (Huawei, Tencent, China Mobile, etc.) to promote the development of informatization
Focusing on the frontiers of disciplines and social needs, based on the Greater Bay Area, serving the whole country and facing global health. Aiming at the urgent needs of the country, we will increase the cutting-edge layout of key directions, use a perfect world-class scientific research team, strengthen the characteristic disciplines and majors facing social needs, and build a disciplinary highland in the Greater Bay Area. Focus on building emerging departments and public health emergency management research centers such as prevention and control of emerging infectious diseases, chronic disease prevention and intelligent management, innovative application of health and medical big data, and public health emergency management, and build an interdisciplinary integration and innovation platform.
Always concentrate on the purpose of serving Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area, accelerate the integration of industry, education and research, and expand and realize the transformation of scientific and technological achievements between schools and enterprises. Meanwhile, relying on the local medical and health system of Shenzhen and the Biosafety Level 3 (P3) Laboratory of the Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and Prevention, we will closely contact the affiliated hospitals of the university and various hospitals in Shenzhen to more closely integrate public health research with medical and health services, promote the leap in the ability of comprehensive medical services, better escort the public health of residents in Shenzhen and even the Greater Bay Area, and then provide exemplary solutions, technology and service support for other regions in China.
