FROM THE PRESIDENT

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTIn 2016 MUHI has continued to deliver

high quality programs that strive to reduce the obstacles in achieving good health and wellbeing for all individuals. All our teams have done an incredible job of putting together and running these programs and should be congratulated on their efforts.

Our local programs focused on education, which we believe is vital to a healthy society. Our ever-popular Student Welfare Outreach Team continued to deliver outstanding tutorials for VCE students wishing to achieve good results at school while struggling to pay the exorbitant prices of standard revision courses. SWOT aims to provide everyone with the opportunity to determine their own destiny regardless of their background, which is essential to their health and wellbeing. In contrast our Public Lectures program, along with our conferences AusWHO and the Undergraduate Global Health Case Competition, aimed to more specifically educate the public about global health issues and provide them with the skills needed to take charge and make a difference. This year’s themes revolved around current topics including epidemics, gender and health, and were extremely well received. The significant increase in attendance at these events and the feedback from participants has indicated that the events were both engaging and informative.

Our global programs continued to provide ongoing support to under-resourced communities overseas. The Kenyan Village Medical Education program continued its tour of villages in Kenya, providing educational sessions on topics such as diarrhoeal disease, water hygiene and malaria. The 2016 KVME trip established deeper connections with communities by returning to villages visited in 2015, and expanded the repertoire of

presentations. The Material Aid Program continued to collect equipment from hospitals and clinics, sending it alongside university students to under-resourced clinics. It also began to expand by collecting monetary donations to purchase much-needed equipment that could not be donated without cost. In particular, MAP assisted devastated communities in Fiji following Cyclone Winston, with assistance from the Katalyst Foundation on the ground in Fiji through the Rebuild Fiji Fund. The ongoing work of this partnership has resulted in significant structural and functional improvements in the Nabouwalu Hospital and the recent purchase of a much-needed ambulance for the region.

MUHI has continued to build on its previous successes over the year through the hard work of its volunteers. As a final goal of MUHI, we hope that everyone involved has grown through their involvement with the organisation and will use the skills they have attained in further improving global health in the future.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in MUHI and its programs in 2016 for making them such a success. It is through their passion and dedication that MUHI has such a strong foundation for 2017, and can continue to build on what has been achieved so far.

AusWHO

4

This year’s AusWHO conference was a resounding success. Over three days, 127 tertiary students from Victorian and interstate universities convened at the Melbourne Law School to debate and discuss the barriers that women all over the world face in achieving equitable health outcomes.

Breadth and vision characterised the final

resolution that was passed by the AusWHO plenary. The resolution proposed an array of innovative policies which, if implemented, would effectively tackle issues such as the adequate provision of mental health services, affordable access to reproductive health, and community changes to reduce the prevalence of sexual and domestic violence. Students had the opportunity to further engage with the conference theme of “Women and Health” through our speaker panel of experts, who shed light on the efforts of the World Health Organization to address gender-based health inequalities. Students were also treated to an enlightening and inspiring speech by the conference’s keynote speaker, Professor Ingrid Scheffer, who emphasized the importance of clinical research and women in science.

The social program added a nice elegant

touch to the conference proceedings. Following Friday’s opening committee session, delegates headed over to the exotically decorated Shaw Davey Slum for late drinks and canapes. On Saturday, delegates ventured down to the Bank on Collins to continue their negotiations deep into the evening in a classy and sophisticated ambience.

Moreover, delegates expressed appreciation for the finer details which enhanced the overall conference experience. Due to the generosity of AusWHO’s sponsors (Avant, MIPS, Co-op Bookstore), the conference showbag featured useful goodies such as a first-aid kit, a drink bottle, notebooks and pens. Every day, delegates were also spoilt with a vast selection of decadent sweets and filling lunch options.

All delegates came away from the conference having improved their research, public speaking and negotiation skills. Those that demonstrated shrewd diplomacy while representing their allocated country or non-state actor were acknowledged with awards or honourable mentions.

We thank the AusWHO organising committee (Natasha Birimac, Daniel Liu, Philip Qian, Bhawna Yadav, William He) for their incredible efforts over the last 5 months in working diligently to make AusWHO a great success. We hope that AusWHO will continue to expand and grow in the years to come.

GOING GLOBAL

6

The Global Health Mentoring Program consists of a six-month mentoring partnership between selected students from the University of Melbourne and global health professionals. In its fifth consecutive year, the GHMP continued to expand its outreach to students and mentors from a diverse range of public and global health backgrounds. This year mentees worked with their mentors to research a topic of interest and develop a presentation for our three-minute thesis competition.

Students are increasingly seeking opportunities to become further involved in making a difference to local and international health issues. While they can campaign for

more awareness and education, volunteer for health promotion charities such as MUHI, or attend local and international conferences on current health issues, there could be more opportunities to directly engage with global health professionals to get a closer perspective on global health in the real world. We hope that the GHMP continues to give students these opportunities in 2017 and beyond.

SWOT

8

In 2016, SWOT continued its commitment to improving the educational outcomes of students from underrepresented schools across the state. It expanded its outreach and invited many secondary school students, even schools, to share in the cause that our talented volunteers were avidly supporting. SWOT aimed to assist bright youths, with our volunteers deeply invested in their education and prosperity.

Completing its second year of operation, the SWOT Masterclasses program continued to have a positive impact on students from our partner schools across Melbourne and Geelong. Altogether, a team of 30 lecturers across 8 subjects delivered tailored classes to these students. With continued correspondence with Collingwood College,

Western Heights College and Essendon Keilor College, 2016 saw the addition of two new schools to the program, them being Emmanuel College and Braybrook College.

Being the workhorse of SWOT for twenty years, the SWOT VCE Revision Week held this year attracted 600 students across the state to the university for intensive exam preparation. Around 80 tutors and lecturers brought their best efforts for these students, arming them with the tips, tricks and support required to tackle their exams with confidence. Despite the long eight-hour days, the students were highly receptive to the program.

2016 was a year of consolidation for SWOT, but 2017 is bound to have many exciting new ventures in store. Development will

PUBLIC LECTURES

THE TEAM

Joyce Chan: Public Lectures ManagerEsther Chen: Events Officer

2016 has been a stunning year for MUHI Public Lectures, with our first event of the year being held in mid-March – right at the start of the academic year. Focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals, this lecture showcased Dr Alison Morgan and Dr Peter Annear, who spoke about how the SDGs arose, what they mean for better health outcomes in the world, and how we might be able to achieve universal healthcare worldwide.

Following our first event there was a lull in the Public Lectures calendar, however we returned in full force in the second half of the year. With the theme of ‘Epidemics’ our Semester Two program seemed hauntingly relevant, given the shadow of the recent Ebola outbreak and ongoing fears of a H5N1 influenza pandemic. Semester Two featured two blockbuster public lectures that aimed to prepare students for MUHI’s Undergraduate Global Health Case Competition (UGHCC) in September, as well as a third and final event that was combined with UGHCC and involved the UGHCC judges.

MUHI’s Marketing team had great fun deploying its marketing strategy of a University of Melbourne zombie outbreak, and their efforts drew massive audiences to our events. The first lecture was a panel discussion featuring Dr Alan Hampson, Prof Michael Richards and Prof Jodie McVernon, who were involved in managing, respectively, the before, during and after of the 2009 swine flu outbreak.

Our second lecture, entitled ‘Experiencing Epidemics’, was a moving but entertaining session with Dr Melissa McRae, who shared

her experiences as an emergency doctor in Sierra Leone at the height of the Ebola emergency.

Going into 2017, we hope to continue delivering lecture series with a strong, relevant theme that appeals to students across all faculties, and we look forward to another exciting year ahead!

PUBLICATIONS

2016 was a very exciting year for MUHI in the publications aspect. It was the first time that MUHI had a complete team dedicated to publications, and also the year that we launched our very first Global Health Magazine, Salutas. Our new Publications Team consisted of the Publications Manager and three Publications Officers, who started 2016 by producing our Annual Report, which detailed MUHI’s achievements in 2015 and the new projects we were hoping to undertake in the new year.

The new publications team was assembled with the ambition to provide budding writers at the University with a platform to voice their opinions and educate our readers on important global health issues. We had an immense response from fellow students interested in writing for us and after a commendable effort from all our writers and the publications team, we were able to finally launch Salutas, our inaugural Global Health Magazine, on the 31st of August.

The launch night event was a huge success! We were able to celebrate our magazine with some inspirational and informative speeches from the likes of Professor Mimi Tang, researcher in the field of immunology; Jason Ball, political candidate and mental health advocate; and Carly Findlay, writer and disability activist. They did a fantastic job of demonstrating the different stages in the delivery of healthcare that can impact its fair and timely distribution. Our fantastic writers were so inspired by the night that we have already received a huge wave of interest in the next edition of Salutas!

Overall, 2016 was a very busy but very successful year for the publications team. On behalf of all four of us, I would like to thank all of our fabulous writers, speakers and the rest of MUHI (especially Victor Lin, Eileen Hu and Narghas Zawari) for making it such a fantastic year. I hope next year will be even bigger and better in our efforts to reach each and every student at the University of Melbourne through our publications.

UGHCC

The 2016 Undergraduate Health Case Competition (UGHCC) was a tremendously popular initiative, which saw over 140 undergraduate students from a variety of disciplines collaborate in teams of 4-6 to address “The Brazilian Organisation of Zika Epidemic Research (BOOZER)” case. This year the case was an original one, meticulously researched and carefully crafted by the UGHCC organising committee.

Of the 42 teams that submitted a preliminary resolution, four were selected for the Grand Final held on the 9th of September at the Melbourne Law School. The four finalists pitched their cases to a live audience of over 80 attendees and a panel of four distinguished judges.

We also had the amazing opportunity to hear a panel discussion from our judges on how they would address a global health epidemic as pressing as the Zika virus.

We sincerely hope that the UGHCC will continue to grow and leave its mark as a prominent event in the yearly case competition calendar.

Our fantastic judges were:

Prof Philip BatterhamA/Prof Benjamin CowieBishma JayathilakaLaura Thomas

The 2016 results were as follows:

1st place - Team Name 2nd place - Team Smallpox 3rd place - Calibre Consulting Co.4th place - Think + Think

Our event was kindly sponsored by the Melbourne Law School and Avant.

KENYAN VILLAGE MEDICAL EDUCATION

14

As many of you may know, the KVME program carries out its preparation in Melbourne whilst the execution happens over in Kenya. We are proud to say that KVME has had a really successful year in 2016. Starting off strong in the first semester with our team of managers and coordinators, we began strategic planning and raised a significant amount of funds from two revision lectures and a trivia night. We also managed to successfully get approved for the University of Melbourne Student Engagement Grant, which saw AUD$4,000 given to us by the Selection Committee in order to further support our program’s efforts.

By second semester, and after two rigorous rounds of interviews, we had selected our chosen volunteers who managed to then raise additional funds from organising fundraiser events such as movie nights, a meat tasting event, selling Cadbury chocolates, bake sales, more revision lectures, and through online donations from generous friends and families. The team successfully raised over AUD$5,000 from online donations alone, which together with the grant money allowed us to help Shelter Children’s Home (the orphanage that the team stays at every year) even more so than in previous years. Additionally, the other funds raised were used to buy water filters and first aid kits for all of the rural villages we were to visit in Kenya.

In January 2017, filled with anticipation and excitement, we left for Kenya. Over in Africa KVME’s job was mainly twofold – firstly, giving medical presentations and workshops to villages, schools and churches; and secondly, helping Shelter Children’s Home with income-generating projects and providing the children with food, clean water and education.

Each day, the team would be driven out 4-5 hours to various parts of Kenya where medical attention and education was most needed. We visited the towns of Machakos, Kitui, Makueni, Saikeri (Massai) and even communities around our orphanage in the town of Ngong. We presented on the topics of preventable diseases (such as pneumonia, trachoma and diarrhoea) and first aid skills. When requested or when appropriate, we also shared on the topics of diabetes, arthritis and HIV/AIDS. We received wonderful feedback indicating that our sessions were extremely useful, and we further encouraged the Kenyans to apply what they learnt in their everyday life. Many questions were asked and we tried our very best to answer them, while understanding and being aware of cultural traditions.

Back in Shelter Children’s Home, we formed strong bonds and friendships with the children who lived there. We helped purchase two pregnant cows (who would produce up to 40L of milk per day), ten more bee hives (for the bees to produce large amounts of natural pure honey), and farming and irrigation tools, so as to allow the orphanage to have their own source of income to support themselves. Additionally, we purchased school textbooks and stationary for the primary school students, brand new water tanks, food and medicine for the children, and also painted the girls’ dormitories. We had a campfire night and a barbeque afternoon for the children before we left. It was bittersweet leaving, but incredible knowing the impact that we left behind and knowing that we would never be the same.

The Material Aid Program has consolidated its focus in 2016, expanding from student-based donations of medical equipment to larger-scale partnerships with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) all across the world.

Our primary focus has been on stockpiling

and shipping consumable medical equipment, collected from clinics, hospitals and other sponsors from across Melbourne, so that these goods do not go to waste. Well-resourced clinics are a cornerstone of good health; by supplying consumables we aim to alleviate the strain placed on clinics, ensuring that they have essential medical supplies to treat their patients and allowing them to redistribute their limited budgets towards other equipment. This year, we were able to ship over 300kg of equipment from our warehouse in Melbourne to under-resourced clinics around the world in places such as Tonga, Uganda and the Philippines.

The highlight of our year was establishing an ongoing partnership with Volunteer for Visayans, which will see 168kg of medical supplies being shipped to remote clinics in the Philippines to support their annual medical mission. During our first fundraising venture, we were able to raise over $1500 to support continuing shipments to Tacloban.

Our success this year would not have been

possible without the invaluable support of the staff at Rotary’s Donations in Kind, who have supplied many of our shipments; and Prompt Distribution, who generously provided our warehouse space.

FINANCIAL REPORT

18

I am pleased to present the Financial Statement for the Melbourne University Health Initiative for the financial year ended 30th June 2016. The purpose of financial reports is to fairly reflect or to provide a true and fair view of an entity’s performance, financial position and cash flow. This financial statement has been prepared in accordance with the obligations required by Consumer Affairs Victoria.

I am pleased to announce an annual profit of $55,671.68.

In accordance with our not-for-profit status, our organisation has not made any payments to any staff or shareholders, of which there are none. We are entirely staffed by volunteers and all profits are to be focused on enhancing our work in the future. 100% of our expenses has gone into funding our programs.

The largest driver of our increased profit this year has been our exceptionally successful fundraising drive following Cyclone Winston, which hit Fiji in March 2016. Working in conjunction with the Katalyst foundation, a charitable arm of Kookai, the Melbourne University Health Initiative has been able to raise over $139,000. So far close to $100,000 has already gone towards rebuilding and providing much needed supplies and aid to Fiji. There is still just over $40,000 earmarked for further work in Fiji and the team at Melbourne University Health Initiative are currently in the process of identifying the areas of greatest need and impact.

The organisation continues to rely on the generous support of commercial partners and community philanthropic grants to continue our work. We are incredibly thankful to have received the following donations over the past year:

-$5,200 from Commonwealth Bank for our Student Welfare Outreach team

-$200 from Work the World-$1,500 from the Faculty of Medicine,

Dentistry and Health Sciences at the University of Melbourne

-$7,941 from the Little Doers Fun Run in Melbourne

Thank you for your interest in the Melbourne University Health Initiative.
