🙏 @AusHcBrunei for having us. We had a “cracking” time. Our sincere 🙏 to our hosts @ubdbuzz for making this @NewColomboPlan trip such a memorable experience & all our partner organisations in making this @UniversitySA #physiotherapy study tour an immense success. #partnership
A delegation of physiotherapy students from @UniversitySA are in town to gain “hands on” experience of Brunei’s healthcare system, with thanks to the @NewColomboPlan and their hosts @ubdbuzz. Yesterday they met my team’s “hip”-est member, 2nd Secretary Yan Kok. Excuse the puns!
