CUHK Distinguished Medical Alumni Award 中大傑出醫科校友獎2020 – Dr LIYEUNG Lucci Lugee 李揚立之醫生
Dr LIYEUNG Lucci Lugee (MBChB 2011) - Awardee of Cultural Accomplishment in CUHK Distinguished Medical Alumni Award 2020 Not only is Dr. LIYEUNG Lucci Lugee (MBChB 2011) a well-known orthopaedic surgeon, she is also an accomplished cartoonist and illustrator. Her proudest creation, undoubtedly, is Dumo. Dumo is a cartoon cheetah inspired by a real-life cheetah orphan, Duma, that she fell in love with while volunteering at a cheetah sanctuary in Namibia. She likes utilising her artistic talents to disseminate health education, particularly aimed at children. When Covid-19 first made an appearance, it took her just three nights to come up with a bilingual storybook for kids, featuring Dumo and his friends, with brilliantly illustrated tips on how to properly wash hands and wear a mask and keep the home environment clean. The book, Dr Dumo et al, became an instant hit. It was widely distributed to children in schools and hospitals for free, translated into at least 12 languages and has appeared on several websites.
