SUMMARY:Student Virtual Case Competition
DESCRIPTION:The 10th Annual APRU Global Health Virtual Case Competition 202
 5\nCase competitions are increasingly popular around the world as a way fo
 r students to exercise critical thinking skills using a “real-world” c
 hallenge. For this international\, virtual competition\, teams of 3–6 st
 udents will receive a challenge relating to a pressing global health prob
 lem. Teams will be given up to 12 weeks to prepare a video of up to 10 
 minutes in English proposing a realistic\, well-designed\, innovative solu
 tion to the challenge. Teams will save their videos on video-sharing websi
 tes and submit the links for judging by an international panel of APRU Glo
 bal Health Program members and other global expert judges.\n\nThe Virtual 
 Case Competition 2025 is supported by data.org and organised in partnersh
 ip with Universiti Malaya\,  United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)
  and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Thre
 e videos will be selected for the final round at the APRU Global Health C
 onference 2025 on October 28–31\, 2025\, in Kuala Lumpur. The winning te
 am will be announced at the conference\, and a prize of US$1\,000 will be 
 awarded. All students who participate will receive a certificate of partic
 ipation via email.\nChallenge of the Year\n“Advancing Inclusive Growth i
 n Southeast Asia by Leveraging Data and AI for Food Security”\n\nDue to 
 urbanization\, growing populations\, conflict\, climate change\, rising co
 st of living\, and declining food production\, food insecurity is expected
  to rise in the coming years. Your team has been asked to work with one na
 tional government in Southeast Asia to inform the development of a five-ye
 ar strategic plan to address food insecurity through a food systems approa
 ch. Previous attempts to address food insecurity have used a siloed way of
  thinking that failed to take into consideration the complex\, interconnec
 ted issues and different dimensions of food insecurity. This nation’s go
 vernment aims to collaborate with many stakeholders on the design of new p
 olicies and programs. However\, convening and collecting data from many st
 akeholders can be very resource-intensive. Therefore\, this government wan
 ts to employ the power of artificial intelligence (AI) but acknowledges th
 e limitations of AI\, including the shortcomings of the data currently ava
 ilable. In this challenge\, your team is tasked with conducting a detailed
  analysis and critique of the existing data available on one dimension of 
 food insecurity in one Southeast Asian nation\, as well as a plan to colle
 ct new\, more inclusive data.\n\nDownload Challenge of the Year 2025 Docum

SUMMARY:Parallel Symposia 2: Global Health Ethics & Justice: Bridging Gaps 
 in Care\, Access\, and Policy
DESCRIPTION:As global health systems confront increasingly complex challeng
 es—including pandemics\, climate change\, resource scarcity\, and deepen
 ing inequities—the ethical dimensions of global health have become ever 
 more critical. This symposium explores how justice and equity are negotiat
 ed across diverse health systems and how structural imbalances continue to
  shape access\, care\, and collaboration. Grounded in the conference theme
  “Towards Planetary Health Equity: A Global Call for Shared Solutions\,
 ” the session brings together three expert voices to examine the ethical
  tensions and practical challenges in global health.\nSpeakers\n[su_row][s

 l University of Singapore) will open the session with a critical reflectio
 n on the ethical imperatives of decolonising global health. He will explor
 e how deeply embedded power structures\, historical legacies\, and institu
 tional biases continue to shape global health research\, governance\, and 
 collaborations\, particularly between high-income countries (HICs) and low
 - and middle-income countries (LMICs). His talk will address the need for 
 ethical reorientation in how priorities are set\, knowledge is valued\, an

DESCRIPTION:Climate mitigation and adaptation are often pursued as separate

SUMMARY:Parallel Symposia 5: Towards Resilient Health Systems: Economic Pol
 icy and Governance Solutions
DESCRIPTION:As global health systems struggle with the compounding effects 
 of pandemics\, economic instability\, climate change\, and widening social
  inequities\, the imperative to build resilience has never been more urgen
 t. But resilience is not simply the ability to withstand shocks\; it is sh
 aped by the underlying structures of governance\, financing\, and justice.
  To build systems that are not only robust in crisis but also equitable an
 d sustainable in everyday function\, we must understand how economic and p
 olicy frameworks influence both system capacity and health equity. This sy
 mposium explores how forward-looking governance and economic strategies ca
 n transform health systems into engines of resilience and inclusion.\nSpea

SUMMARY:Working Group Session
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 18th APRU Global Health Conference in Kuala Lump
 ur\, all participants are invited to join one of six dynamic two-hour Wor
 king Group sessions. These sessions provide an opportunity for in-depth di
 alogue\, co-creation\, and regional collaboration on some of the most pres
 sing issues shaping global health in the Asia-Pacific.\n\nEach Working Gro
 up brings together leading experts\, practitioners\, and participants from
  diverse disciplines to:\n\n 	Examine critical challenges across health\,
  ethics\, humanitarian practice\, education\, and equity.\n 	Share knowled
 ge and experiences from across the Asia-Pacific network.\n 	Generate acti
 onable outputs\, ranging from consensus statements and declarations to fra
 meworks and teaching tools that will guide research\, policy\, and practic
 e.\n\nThe six sessions span a broad spectrum of global health concerns:\n\
 n[su_accordion][su_spoiler title="AGEING" open="no" style="default" icon="
 plus" anchor="" anchor_in_url="no" class=""]\nCombatting Ageism in the Asi
 a-Pacific\nAgeism—or discrimination based on age—remains a pervasive a
 nd often overlooked barrier to inclusion and equity across the Asia-Pacifi
 c region. As Asia-Pacific societies rapidly age\, addressing ageism is bot
 h a moral and practical imperative. Combatting ageism is critical for heal
 thy ageing and for building inclusive\, resilient societies that recognise
  the value of older adults as contributors to economic\, social\, and inte
 rgenerational wellbeing. This workshop\, led by Professors Zhaoli Dai-Kell
 er\, Jonathan Guillemot\, and Andrew Sixsmith\, will explore how ageism ma
 nifests across systems\, institutions\, and cultures in the region\, both 
 in overt and more subtle ways. Participants will engage in collaborative r
 oundtables to co-develop recommendations for addressing ageism at individu
 al\, family\, community\, institutional\, and policy levels. The Social Ec
 ological Model will be used as a framework. Utilising the collective exper
 tise of the APRU network and the guidance from the UN Decade on Healthy Ag
 eing\, we aim to produce a consensus statement outlining guiding principle
 s and actionable strategies to promote age equity across Asia-Pacific soci
 eties.\n\n[/su_spoiler][su_spoiler title="BIOETHICS\, EDUCATION AND TECHNO
 LOGY" open="no" style="default" icon="plus" anchor="" anchor_in_url="no" c
 lass=""]\nCase Studies on the Ethics of AI for Health\nIn this interactive
  session\, we will join two Working Groups (Bioethics and Education and Te
 chnology) to further the conversation on the ethics of artificial intellig
 ence (AI) in health. The leaders are Catherine Zhou from Hong Kong Univers
 ity of Science and Technology and Leander Marquez from the University of 
 the Philippines. Participants will collaboratively develop/expand short ca
 se studies focused on ethical issues in the use of AI in health. Through g
 uided discussions in small groups\, participants will explore real-world s
 cenarios and challenges related to privacy\, bias\, accountability\, infor
 med consent\, and other ethical dilemmas present in the use of AI-driven h
 ealth care and research. The session aims to generate practical\, thought-
 provoking case studies that can be used as teaching and training tools for
  students\, practitioners\, and policymakers working at the intersection o
 f AI and health ethics.\n\n[/su_spoiler][su_spoiler title="HUMANITARIAN AS
 SISTANCE AND HEALTH" open="no" style="default" icon="plus" anchor="" ancho
 r_in_url="no" class=""]\nA Call &amp\; Commitment to Humanity: APRU GH Hum
 anitarian Aid and Health Declaration on Humanitarian Crises\nPolitical shi
 fts can halt donor-funded humanitarian assistance. These changes interrupt
  critical services\, slow emergency response\, weaken resilience\, disrupt
  data collection in crisis zones\, and ultimately impact human well-being 
 while straining global partnerships. This interactive session—led by An
 n Toh and Suhyoon Choi\, and Shuaibu Musa—seeks to uncover opportunity
  and hope by reimagining humanitarian practice. We will explore challenges
  and spotlight “positive deviants” who innovate despite resource const
 raints and discuss how science and evidence can guide action in data-scarc
 e contexts. The workshop culminates with the presentation of a draft APRU 
 Declaration on Humanitarian Crises\, inviting participants to share experi
 ences\, insights\, and case studies to finalise a shared ethical commitmen
 t that advances community resilience\, local leadership\, global solidarit
 y\, and the spirit of our shared humanity.\n\n[/su_spoiler] [su_spoiler ti
 tle="MENTAL HEALTH" open="no" style="default" icon="plus" anchor="" anchor
 _in_url="no" class=""]\nAddressing the Student Mental Health Crisis in Asi
 a-Pacific Higher Education\nMany Asia-Pacific economies are facing unprece
 dented mental health crises among youth and young adults. In this interact
 ive session led by Xin (Summer) Xu\, we will begin by discussing the dive
 rse mental health needs of university students. We will share the results 
 of a recent survey of APRU member institutions\, which took inventory of t
 he types of programmes and services offered by APRU universities\, as well
  as the gaps and challenges that universities face in meeting the increasi
 ng demand for mental health services. Drawing on these findings\, we will 
 highlight key insights and share examples of innovative and/or effective i
 nitiatives that may serve as models for other universities seeking to enha
 nce student mental health services. These programmes reflect a continuum o
 f care\, spanning prevention\, early intervention\, and treatment. In addi
 tion to examining direct service provision\, we will consider how the broa
 der institutional environment—including academic policies\, campus cultu
 re\, and student engagement—can play a critical role in fostering studen
 t mental well-being. The session will conclude with a collaborative discus
 sion to generate actionable recommendations\, which will inform the develo
 pment of a white paper outlining promising\, multi-level approaches for pr
 omoting holistic mental health support within higher education institution
 s across the region.\n\n[/su_spoiler] [su_spoiler title="NCDs" open="no" s
 tyle="default" icon="plus" anchor="" anchor_in_url="no" class=""]\nAdvanci
 ng Equity in Women’s Cancer Prevention: The Kuala Lumpur Declaration fo
 r the Asia-Pacific Region\nThis workshop\, led by Claire Chenweng Zhong 
 and Jason Huang\, aims to promote equity in women’s cancer prevention a
 cross the Asia-Pacific region. It addresses the increasing incidence of wo
 men’s cancers and the persistent gender disparities in prevention and ca
 re. Experts will lead discussions to identify key challenges\, knowledge g
 aps\, and effective strategies to enhance access to resources and services
  for women. The findings will aim to be published in a peer-reviewed journ
 al to inform future public health policies and advance gender equity in ca
 ncer prevention.\n\n[/su_spoiler] [su_spoiler title="NURSING" open="no" st
 yle="default" icon="plus" anchor="" anchor_in_url="no" class=""]\nRedesign
 ing Nursing Education for Future Healthcare Systems\nWith health systems
  changing quickly in response to demographic forces\, technological
  innovation\, global pandemics\, and climate change\, the need to revolut
 ionise nursing education has never been more urgent. During this roundt
 able discussion led by Erlinda Palaganas\, we will highlight shared educat
 ional challenges and examine new paradigms of nursing education\, attuned 
 to future health system requirements and international health priorities.
  Participants will discuss best practices in curriculum redesign\, simu
 lation-based education\, interprofessional education\, digital and AI inte
 gration\, and how global competencies and sustainability values can be 
 embedded in nursing programmes. The session will also examine APRU member
  universities’ internationalisation of nursing education through faculty
  exchange\, collaborative research\, and regional accreditation arrangeme
 nts. The end goal is to produce a joint framework for transforming nursing
  education that includes recommendations for creating culturally aware a
 nd technology-literate nurses.\n\n[/su_spoiler][/su_accordion]\n\nTo fac
 ilitate meaningful participation\, an invitation to select a preferred Wo
 rking Group will be sent to all registered participants one month before t
 he conference. This ensures that participants can plan ahead\, contribute 
 actively\, and join discussions most aligned with their expertise and inte
 rests.\n\nTogether\, these Working Groups underscore APRU’s commitment t
 o regional solutions\, interdisciplinary collaboration\, and global solid
 arity. Participants are encouraged to actively engage\, contribute their e
 xpertise\, and shape outputs that will have enduring impact on health and 
 wellbeing in the Asia-Pacific and beyond.
