On July 10, 2026, a delegation from Kiang Wu Nursing College of Macau and the Macau Alzheimer’s Disease Association, led by President VAN Iat Kio, visited the Yuhang Campus of the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (FAHZU), for an exchange on nursing education, geriatric nursing, and dementia care.
The meeting was chaired by LU Fangyan, Executive Deputy Director of the Nursing Department of FAHZU. WANG Huafen, Assistant President of FAHZU and Director of the Nursing Department, delivered welcome remarks and reviewed the long-standing collaboration between the two sides in nursing students’ clinical practice. She also shared FAHZU’s progress in nursing discipline development, talent cultivation, and featured geriatric nursing. Director WANG highlighted FAHZU’s integrated geriatric care practice system, which is built on comprehensive geriatric assessment and nutrition management, and connects care across the acute, subacute, and recovery phases through specialist nursing, multidisciplinary collaboration, and digital support.
The delegation visited the Geriatrics Ward, Intensive Care Unit, outpatient areas, and central pharmacy. In the Geriatrics Ward, the delegation observed how this integrated care system is translated into daily practice, including risk assessment, nutritional support, rehabilitation promotion, delirium prevention, perioperative management, and dementia care. The healing corner, clear visual guidance signs, and human-centered ward environment left a strong impression on the delegation. The visit also offered an immersive view of FAHZU’s smart hospital development, refined nursing processes, and multidisciplinary care model.
The visit further strengthened mutual understanding between nursing teams in Zhejiang and Macao and provided a meaningful platform for future collaboration. Looking ahead, FAHZU will continue to work with nursing colleagues from Macao to advance high-quality, compassionate, and sustainable nursing development, with a shared focus on geriatric nursing and dementia care.
