A group of four student doctors, from the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (SUTCM), China, are at the University of Malta for two months, practising and improving their medical English. the students have been accompanied by the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dr Liu Peng, as well as Drs Hu and Wu from the SUTCM teaching staff.

The group was welcomed to Malta and UM by Pro Rector Prof. Godfrey Baldacchino, who had already met the young doctors in Shanghai in September. (This is the first experience outside China for these visitors.)
