Macquarie University Personal Statement

During my childhood, I could remember vividly series of health challenges several of my relatives encountered; how we struggled and are limited in handling the situations due to lower quality health care services rendered. For example, I was a caregiver to my Grandma who was diagnosed with Ischemic strokes. These are caused by reduced blood flow to the brain when blood vessels are blocked by a clot or become too narrow for blood to get through. Brain cells in the area die from lack of oxygen. So I helped out a lot during her recovery and rehabilitation. My passion to create and sustain outstanding health care services began to take form. Ever since then I was interested in Public health sciences.

Moreover, the affordability and quality of health

My passion in public health is dominated by the integration of technological innovations, new health care delivery systems, restructuring of work and policy demands greater involvement in deciding how our knowledge is used. I want to take part in deciding how we as a society deal with providing the best quality of care to all citizens. I intend to earn a Master’s degree in Public Health which I will use as a foundation to create and expand programs for scientific research, preventive medicine, medical and vocational rehabilitation, and community health and welfare at a health care
