HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 Juli 2026 – Seiring peningkatan industri media yang makin global dan saling terhubung, para mahasiswa mengupayakan pendidikan yang mampu menjangkau berbagai budaya dan pasar. Bagi Jose Manuel Cervantes Sanchez, penerima beasiswa asal Meksiko, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) menawarkan wadah untuk mewujudkan hal tersebut.
Jose Manuel Cervantes Sanchez Membangun Jembatan Melalui Media di CUHK
Hong Kong: Pusat Strategis bagi Media Global
Saat ini, Jose menempuh pendidikan di Program Global Communication CUHK dan menjadi bagian dari semakin banyaknya mahasiswa internasional yang memilih Hong Kong karena perannya yang strategis sebagai gerbang budaya dan komersial yang menghubungkan Timur dan Barat. Sejak dulu, Jose tertarik dengan budaya Asia dan dipengaruhi oleh hubungan keluarganya dengan kota tersebut, sehingga ia tertarik pada posisi unik dari Hong Kong sebagai penghubung berbagai budaya. “Seiring waktu, saya ingin menjadi bagian dari masyarakat setempat dan membangun jembatan antara Meksiko dan Hong Kong,” ujarnya.
Awalnya, seorang konselor sekolah memperkenalkan CUHK kepadanya sebagai salah satu pilihan terbaik. Meskipun sempat mempertimbangkan universitas di Kanada dan Inggris Raya, tetapi Hong Kong tetap menjadi pilihan utama baginya. Keputusannya makin bulat setelah ia menerima Beasiswa Penerimaan Mahasiswa Baru CUHK.
Keunggulan Akademik dan Eksplorasi Kreatif
Pengalaman Jose di Program Global Communication telah memenuhi, bahkan melampaui, harapannya. Hal yang paling berkesan baginya adalah mata kuliah kreatif yang memberikan kesempatan kepada mahasiswa untuk menggunakan langsung peralatan media profesional sekaligus kebebasan untuk bereksperimen. “Dorongan semangat dari beberapa dosen untuk mengeksplorasi kreativitas telah membantu saya menemukan sisi-sisi baru dalam diri saya,” katanya.
Di luar ruang kuliah, Jose menikmati kehidupan di Hong Kong dengan penuh semangat. Mulai dari menghadiri ajang budaya dan kegiatan organisasi mahasiswa hingga menjelajahi kawasan kuliner lokal, ia merasakan kota ini sebagai tempat yang hidup dan penuh inspirasi. Keberadaan stasiun MTR di dalam kampus juga memudahkan perjalanan menuju Shatin, Pulau Hong Kong, bahkan hingga perbatasan Shenzhen, sehingga kehidupan mahasiswa menjadi makin praktis.
Membangun Karier Kreatif di Hong Kong
Di masa mendatang, Jose berharap bisa mengikuti program pertukaran mahasiswa selama satu semester serta menjalani magang di bidang produksi media untuk makin memperkuat keterampilan praktiknya. Rencana kariernya setelah lulus masih terbuka, dengan berbagai peluang baik di industri hiburan Meksiko yang berkembang pesat maupun di pasar Hong Kong yang dinamis.
Bagi mahasiswa internasional yang sedang mempertimbangkan pilihan studi, Jose menyampaikan pesan yang jelas: CUHK menawarkan kualitas akademik, dukungan finansial, serta pijakan yang berharga di salah satu kota paling dinamis di dunia.

Latest platform enhancements support new entrepreneurs, strengthen business growth and deliver greater value for shoppers
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 July 2026 – Shopee, the largest e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, and a leading e-commerce platform in Brazil, today announced a new series of seller growth initiatives under Shopee Lindung Niaga, first announced in April 2026.

“We understand the challenges that MSMEs face in today’s evolving business landscape. That’s why we’re continuously investing in practical tools and support that help businesses get started, grow with confidence, and operate more efficiently,” said Ian Ho, Vice President, Shopee Malaysia. “These latest initiatives reflect our long-term commitment to empowering local businesses with the capabilities they need to build sustainable growth, while continuing to deliver greater value and convenience for Malaysians.”
Helping More Local Entrepreneurs Get Started
Shopee is making it easier for aspiring local entrepreneurs to begin selling online by enhancing its New Seller Programme. Eligible sellers will benefit from:
A 60-day Platform Support Fee waiver, reducing upfront operating costs for new local marketplace sellers.
A higher order cap before commission fees apply, giving eligible sellers more flexibility to build momentum and reinvest in their business before commission fees apply. This benefit increases from 100 to 200 orders and is available for 120 days from the first product listing or upon reaching the order cap, whichever comes first.
Together, these enhancements lower the barriers to starting an online business, enabling more entrepreneurs to build visibility, acquire customers, and establish long-term growth while expanding product choice for shoppers.
Supporting Essential Goods Sellers
As businesses grow, managing operating costs becomes increasingly important. To support business growth over time, Shopee is introducing lower commission rates across selected everyday essential categories, including milk, mineral water, cereal, bread, and eggs. This list of categories is continuously reviewed and adjusted to support daily needs, while allowing essential goods sellers to remain competitive.
The revised commission structure will:
Reduce commission rates for over 60 selected everyday essentials categories by between 0.5 and 9.0%, with the largest reductions for products in the Cooking Essentials (flavour enhancers and coatings), Creamers, and Butter & Margarine categories, helping improve profitability for participating sellers.
Bring the total number of everyday essentials categories with lower commission rates to over 120, giving sellers greater flexibility to reinvest in business growth.
Help shoppers to continue enjoying competitive prices and reliable access to everyday essentials.
Aside from lower commission rates for these everyday essentials categories, Shopee is also helping sellers increase sales opportunities through the Daily Essentials Discount Campaign. Running from 7 to 31 July, the campaign offers shoppers discount vouchers of 20% to 50% across selected daily essentials categories.
Unlocking Growth Opportunities for Sellers
As businesses continue to grow, Shopee is also introducing additional initiatives that help sellers expand their reach, strengthen operations, and capture new growth opportunities through:
50% additional Free Ads Credits through the Ads Startup Booster (ASB), to help participating sellers improve product discoverability, increase product visibility and reach more customers during the early stages of their business. Internal data show that sellers who began using Shopee Ads recorded an 18% uplift in impressions, a 10% increase in clicks, and a 25% increase in total Gross Merchandise Value (GMV).
Commission waiver for new sellers joining our Fulfilled by Shopee (FBS) service. By reducing the upfront costs of adopting fulfillment services, the waiver makes it easier for sellers to leverage Shopee’s integrated warehousing and logistics capabilities, enabling them to focus on growing their businesses while delivering a more reliable shopping experience for customers.
Together, these initiatives help businesses operate more efficiently, while continuing to deliver greater convenience, reliability and value for millions of Malaysians who shop on Shopee.
“Building a strong marketplace requires continuous investment in the tools, capabilities, and support that help businesses adapt and grow as their needs evolve. Whether entrepreneurs are launching their first online business, scaling established operations or adopting new technologies to improve productivity, Shopee continues to invest in the capabilities that help businesses succeed at every stage of their growth journey, while delivering greater value and convenience for shoppers,” Ho concluded.

COSA Risk Assessment Tool Deployed Across Community Pharmacies to Identify Undiagnosed Patients
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 July 2026 – The Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, LKS Faculty of Medicine , the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) today announced the launch of Hong Kong’s first structured community pharmacist-led osteoporosis screening programme, built upon the validated Chinese Osteoporosis Screening Algorithm (COSA). The initiative enables trained community pharmacists to proactively identify individuals at high risk of osteoporosis — a condition that affects millions yet remains widely undiagnosed — and to facilitate timely referral to family physicians for clinical evaluation, bone mineral density assessment, and diagnosis, thereby helping hidden patients in community to receive appropriate care.
(from left) Ms Kuki Ku, a Christian Family Service Centre (CFSC) community pharmacist; Mr. Gary Kong Ching-yue, Programme Director – Primary Health Care Services, CFSC; Professor Cheung Ching-lung, Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong and Ms Shum, a participant of COSA screening service, support more community pharmacies and other primary healthcare platforms establish osteoporosis screening, working collaboratively to build a comprehensive bone health management network rooted in “early identification, timely diagnosis, and prompt treatment.”
Despite being one of the most prevalent bone diseases in Hong Kong, osteoporosis is estimated to go undiagnosed and untreated in up to 80% of those affected, largely because the disease is asymptomatic until a fracture occurs. By embedding screening within the familiar and accessible setting of community pharmacies, this programme represents a significant step forward in closing the gap between disease burden and clinical intervention.
Osteoporosis Can Lead to Fragility Fractures with Mortality Rates Comparable to Major Cancers
Osteoporosis affects approximately 30% of women and 8% of men aged over 50 or above in Hong Kong, causing progressive deterioration of bone density that leaves patients vulnerable to fragility fractures — fractures that occur from low-impact forces such as a minor fall or even a sudden movement. These fractures carry consequences far beyond physical injury.
Research demonstrates that the one-year mortality rate following a hip fracture can exceed that of certain common cancers, including prostate and breast cancer. Local hospital data further indicate that nearly half of all patients who sustain a fragility hip fracture do not survive beyond five years. Despite these grave outcomes, public awareness remains alarmingly low: international studies suggest that fewer than one in ten at-risk individuals proactively seek a bone mineral density assessment.
Community Pharmacies as an integral part of Primary Healthcare with Pharmacists Playing a Key Role
Recognising the urgent need for a scalable, community-based approach to osteoporosis detection, community pharmacies are increasingly recognised as one of the vital platforms for screening and health education. Community pharmacies play a unique position in the primary healthcare ecosystem — they are among the most frequently visited and trusted healthcare touchpoints in daily life, offering not only medication dispensing but also accessible health consultations, disease prevention education, risk assessments, and referrals, serving as a critical component of the primary healthcare ecosystem.
Standardising the COSA Screening Process to Reach High-Risk Individuals in the Community
Since 2026, the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy at HKUMed has collaborated with multiple community pharmacies to introduce a standardised osteoporosis risk assessment protocol into the community, enabling specially trained community pharmacists to utilise the COSA tool to screen high-risk individuals. The assessment requires only four data points — sex, age, body weight, and prior fracture history — and can be completed within minutes during a routine pharmacy visit.
Pharmacists trained in the protocol explain results to patients immediately upon completion. Individuals identified as high-risk receive a written referral to a family physician or other healthcare professionals for further evaluation, including Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scanning to confirm diagnosis. All participants, regardless of risk classification, receive bone health education, including guidance on calcium and vitamin D intake, balanced diets, appropriate weight-bearing exercise, fall prevention, and other lifestyle modifications. Studies have demonstrated that these non-pharmacological interventions independently reduce fracture incidence, offering bone protection even in the absence of drug therapy.
Promising Early Results: Approximately 60% of High-Risk Individuals Willing to Undergo Assessment
Since the programme’s launch, community pharmacists have proactively approached over 1,000 high-risk individuals — defined as men aged 70 or above, women aged 65 or above, and adults aged 50 or above with at least one additional osteoporosis risk factor — and invited them to complete the COSA assessment. Notably, approximately 60% of those approached agreed to undergo the assessment, demonstrating that community pharmacy-based osteoporosis screening is an effective means of raising public awareness of the disease and encouraging individuals to take an active role in managing their own health. Of those assessed, more than 100 individuals were identified as being at very high risk for osteoporosis and were referred to family physicians for further diagnostic workup. These findings confirm that this service model can effectively reach and identify undiagnosed high-risk individuals hidden within the community, facilitating early detection and timely intervention.
“Osteoporosis is a disease that is too often discovered only after a fracture has already occurred,” said Professor Cheung Ching-lung, Associate Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, HKUMed. “By integrating COSA screening into community pharmacies, we have been able to reach a substantial number of high-risk individuals who had never previously undergone assessment. Establishing routine screening services within community pharmacies not only helps elevate public understanding of bone health but also facilitates the early identification of undiagnoised patients, promoting timely diagnosis and treatment through established referral pathways.”
Proactive Outreach by Community Pharmacies Enhances Screening Accessibility
The Diamond Hill Family Pharmacy, operated by the Christian Family Service Centre (CFSC), is among the participating sites offering osteoporosis screening and health counselling as part of this programme. “Community pharmacies are places people trust and visit regularly. This programme demonstrates precisely how community-based healthcare can extend disease prevention and health education into everyday life. We are delighted to support this clinical model that brings practical osteoporosis screening services into the community so that more high-risk individuals can receive early assessment.”said Mr Gary Kong Ching-yue, Programme Director – Primary Health Care Services, CFSC.
Ms Kuki Ku, a CFSC community pharmacist involved in the programme, highlighted a natural entry point that has proven particularly effective: many older adults visit pharmacies routinely to purchase calcium supplements or vitamin D — products directly associated with bone health. This provides pharmacists with an organic opportunity to initiate a conversation about bone health, introduce the COSA assessment, and deliver personalised guidance on nutrition and exercise to support bone density maintenance. Ms Ku recalled one particularly illustrative case: during a routine COSA screening, she identified an elderly woman as being at high risk for osteoporosis and promptly referred her to a family doctor for further evaluation, including a DXA scan. The scan revealed osteoporosis . She is currently consulting with her doctor on follow-up management to reduce further bone loss.
Ms Shum, a participant of COSA screening service in her eighties living with hypertension, hyperglycaemia, and hypercholesterolaemia, visited the pharmacy to collect a blood glucose meter. At the pharmacist’s invitation, she completed the COSA osteoporosis screening — an encounter she had not anticipated. Her results indicated a high risk for osteoporosis, and she was issued a referral letter alongside personalised advice on fracture-preventive exercise and dietary calcium intake.
Standardised Guidelines and Training Readiness Pave the Way for Expanded Osteoporosis Screening
With Hong Kong’s rapidly ageing population, the number of osteoporosis patients is projected to rise continuously, with hip fracture cases potentially surging several-fold to reach 27,468 cases by 2050. To strengthen community bone health management, the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy at HKUMed has developed a comprehensive practice guideline for community-based osteoporosis screening services. These guidelines encompass the latest disease management information, standardised screening protocols, public education materials, and referral mechanisms, and have been officially reviewed by The Osteoporosis Society of Hong Kong (OSHK).
Additionally, the Department has launched an online Continuing Pharmacy Education (CPE) course to provide training for pharmacists, supporting the standardised development of the service. With guidelines, training courses, and referral pathways now established, the community screening service is fully equipped for expansion. This sets the foundation for more community pharmacies to adopt the service and enables future integration into District Health Centres (DHCs) and other primary healthcare platforms, working collaboratively to build a comprehensive bone health management network rooted in “early identification, timely diagnosis, and prompt treatment.”

About the Chinese Osteoporosis Screening Algorithm (COSA)
The Chinese Osteoporosis Screening Algorithm (COSA) is a risk prediction tool developed by The Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong, specifically tailored for the Chinese population. Unlike previous risk prediction tools, such as FRAX and OSTA, which have demonstrated biases due to ethnic differences, COSA offers greater accuracy for Chinese demographics. This algorithm assesses an individual’s risk of developing osteoporosis by posing four straightforward questions related to gender, weight, age, and fracture history, achieving an accuracy rate between 74% and 94%.
