环太平洋大学联盟全球健康虚拟案例大赛是由环太平洋大学联盟主办的一项国际性的年度赛事，通过设置情境挑战，锻炼参赛学生的批判性思维能力和解决问题的能力。本年度的案例主题是加强斐济卫生系统的能力，以更好应对未来的公共卫生挑战，关注弱势群体。学生需要找到创新、可行、循证支持的解决方案。

The internationally and annually APRU-hosted Global Health Virtual Case Competition has provided APRU students with an opportunity to practice critical thinking and problem-solving skills through cases and scenarios to help solve global health challenges. The challenge of the case competition 2022 was to build and strengthen the capacity of the health systems in Fiji to better respond to future public health threats, focusing on vulnerable populations. The participating teams were obliged to propose a realistic, well-designed, and innovative solution.

本届赛事共有来自12个国家/地区的48支队伍参加。来自bat365临床医学专业、护理专业和康复治疗学专业的12名同学以及来自外语学院、建筑学院、电子与信息工程学院的4名同学，组成了三支参赛队伍（Arete, Tongji Youth Team , Small Jin）与来自环太平洋地区顶级大学的学子们进行了激烈角逐。

A total of 48 teams from 12 major Pacific Rim economies participated in the case competition 2022. Three Tongji University teams (Arete, Tongji Youth Team , Small Jin)，made up of twelve students from TUSM (Clinical Medicine, Nursing and Physical Therapy) and four students from other majors (SFL, CAUP, CEIE), registered for the stiff competition to compete against other participating teams from top leading research universities around the Pacific Rim.

赛事准备期，正值上海疫情严重的时期。同学们克服种种困难，查询文献资料、采访斐济学生和运输从业人员、定期会议沟通，拍摄和剪辑视频。在兼顾线上学习和疫情防控的同时，如期完成了精彩的方案。在此过程中，得到了学院领导和兄弟学院部门的关心和支持。学院党委副书记陈海滨结合沪西校区疫情防控的第一手资料，耐心指导同学们完善方案。留学生办公室协助联络斐济留学生。设计创意学院和中意学院为视频制作提供了支持。

By the time these participating teams started to prepare for their entries, they had been confronted with various difficulties and challenges such as stringent containment measures during the worst period of COVID outbreak in Shanghai, despite which they still managed to do literature search, complete interview schedules with Fijian students and local transportation workers, conduct liaison meetings on a regular basis, and work out a wrap-up of the case solution through video shooting and editing. Through uninterrupted efforts in balancing online learning and non-stop fight against COVID, they completed their proposal on schedule. During that period, they received intensified concerns and support, including the guidance from CHEN haibin, Deputy Party Chief of TUSM, who shared the first-hand experience of pandemic prevention and control on West Campus. The International Students Office of Tongji University assisted in contacting Fijian students whilst the School of Design and Innovation, along with the Sino-Italian Institute, gave support for video-making.

ARETE参赛队员感言：

2022年3月到6月的视频准备期间，我们在上海亲历了三个月的疫情封控。正因为此，我们更加深刻的明白，任何防疫措施都有它的局限性，没有十全十美的方案。在确定方案的时候，结合自身体验，我们努力做到谨慎和尽可能的全面。

这场比赛让我们收获了很多。比如，在搜寻解决案例过程中，我们打破了自己原有的圈子，了解到世界上不同地区的防疫政策，也更加体会到弱势群体了在疫情中的不易。通过这个比赛，我们能够有一个新的角度再次审视自己的生活，思考我们到底可以为这场疫情，为这一个世界做一些什么。在上海漫长的封控期间，我们队伍积极参与志愿活动，尽可能帮助更多的人。我们还将视频上传到Bilibili网站，希望能籍此激发大学生群体对于全球性健康问题的关注和思考。

比赛虽然迎来终点，但疫情还没有结束。与此同时，世界还面临着战争、饥荒、极端天气等种种问题……有时候现实的情况不禁会令人迷茫和失望，一百年前中国的思想家梁济也曾问道“这个世界会好吗？”通过这个比赛，我们可以很坚定的回答，只要人类有着和平、平等、自由等共同信念并为之努力，相信世界是会一天天往好里去的。
