共建“一带一路”十年,留学北医之路 EMPH留学生:不虚此行,满载而归

2023年是共建“一带一路”倡议提出十周年。十年来,共建“一带一路”倡议从理念转化为行动,从愿景转变为现实,建设成果丰硕。为服务国家“一带一路”战略,也为进一步促进北大医学国际化建设和特色专业的发展,北京大学公共卫生学院面向全球开设“国际高端人才公共卫生硕士项目”(Executive Master of Public Health Program,简称EMPH)。该项目2019、2020和2021年连续三年获得教育部“中非友谊”中国政府奖学金支持。至今累计为12个“一带一路”沿线国家的公共卫生领域培养了近30名专业人才,目前已经毕业18位留学生。2023年12月留学生Timothy Teddy Nah即将学成回国。

Timothy Teddy Nah:自己和祖国都从“一带一路”获益

在共建“一带一路”的十年里,中国与一百多个国家开展了密切合作,不少来自共建国家的年轻人对中国有了更深入的了解,并因此踏上留学中国之路,将中国元素与自己的人生规划深度融合。

今年28岁的Timothy Teddy Nah来自利比亚,2023年3月来到北医校园,他说中利两国人民有着深厚的传统友谊,很感谢中国政府、学校给予自己的学习机会,来到中国的短暂时间里感受到了这所学校的魅力,体会到了中国人的热情,领略了多姿多彩的中国文化,看到真实、立体、全面的中国。通过这段学习经历,自己将更加努力成为具有全球视野的公共卫生人才。
