PRESIDENT’S NOTES Nurul Gina Fadlillah President CIMSA 2018-2019 As youth, we have an important role in developing the country.

As the agent of change, we should be able to think critically in solving problems. For that, a vessel is needed to help channel ideas as solution for the problems. Center for Indonesian Medical Students’ Activities (CIMSA) has been the vessel for Indonesian medical students to actively contribute in changing movement, especially in medical field.

With 23 locals spread all over Indonesia, CIMSA plays the part as one of spearhead that can make medical students’ dreams of serving themselves in building the health of Indonesia to be better come true. As the years pass by, CIMSA realizes that its commitment to be always actively involved is paramount. The importance is shown in the existence of CIMSA Policy Statement. Besides that, CIMSA realizes that change is not only one man’s responsibility. but everyone involves shares the responsibility of good cooperation. For that, advocacy becomes one of CIMSA’s focus in making the changes happen.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) supported by CIMSA, has made CIMSA focus on the sustainability in giving a better impact. Sustainability of the current system, CIMSA programs, human resources up to CIMSA’s achievements. For that, a medium is needed to store proof of CIMSA’s long journey.

AORTA magazine has been being such a precious things to be handled. Such an honor, as MCD, to present all of CIMSA achievements and activities in a magazine.

AORTA not only a magazine or symbol, but also a media to persuade all members to stay active with CIMSA in improving the nation’s health. In the Name of Allah SWT, I present to you AORTA #27 for May Meeting 2019, Semarang.

May Meeting would be my last national meeting as National Official CIMSA. My journey maybe nearly ended, but the fight to empower medical students and improve nation’s health would be passed to the next National Official CIMSA Indonesia.

My path as Media and Communication Director CIMSA 2018-2019 and all of the team, OSCAR, was not easy since the beginning, but we believed that CIMSA members would stay by our side and gave us all the support we needed. I sincerely would like to thank all members and partners, for the support, joy and chance that already given.

“Never give up, and be confident in what you do. There may be tough times, but the difficulties which you face will make you more determined to achieve your objectives and to win against all the odds.”

MARCH MEETING SLOVENIA, 2019 by. Muhammad Halim Triwira Syam Do you know how to say 'Halo' in Slovenia? It is 'Zdravo' in the Slovenian language. This year the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations 68th General Assembly March Meeting 2019 was held in Portoro , Slovenia.

Hosted SloMSIC – Slovenia. The event was taken place at the Grand Hotel Bernardin, Portoro , Slovenia. Through the venue, we could see the beautiful scenery of the Adriatic Sea from the Slovenian Coast.

The IFMSA General Assemblies hope to inspire the next generation of future physicians to become leaders and advocates through the exchange of ideas, networking and learning from the various programme sessions, such as public health, sexual and reproductive health including HIV/AIDS, human rights and peace, medical e d u c a t i o n a n d re s e a rc h a n d p ro f e s s i o n a l exchanges. The official theme event is Gender in

7

Health Care, where the impact of gender on different levels of health, health systems, and healthcare is to be discussed. The event aim is to f o s t e r t h e n e x t g e n e r a t i o n o f h e a l t h c a re professionals to be adequately prepared for the challenges modern medicine presents, as well as create a strong joint voice as advocates for dignified and non-discriminatory medicine.

To support the main theme of March Meeting there are various remarkable speakers on the main event. Those are Ms. Diah Satyani Saminarsih (WHO Advisor on Gender and Youth), Ms. Ann K e e l i n g ( Wo m e n i n G l o b a l H e a l t h , B o a rd Member), Ms. Alexis C. Johnson (Founder of Pineapple Laboratories, Germany) and Dr. Janusz Janczukowicz (International Association for Medical Education – AMEE Executive Board Member). All discussion was about Gender in Healthcare.

MARCH - MAY ‘19 There were twelve people representing our NMO on behalf of CIMSA-ISMKI. Each day because of the excitement of the event and social environment there, all the 12 of Indonesian delegates showed our remarkable presences on each session we joined. Every day during the March Meeting, the session always starts with Parallel Sessions that consisted of Presidents' Session, NMO Management Session, and SCO Session.

The highlight of the first day was Theme Event session about the topic above, TO NMO Buddies and IFMSA Fringe. Focusing on gender impacts health on many levels, some more visible on first sight than others. Today, patients' gender still influences their diagnosis and treatment. Also, in research, in many parts of the world, there is still a big gap between the different genders. Health is a fundamental human right, and thus we cannot except the current status quo of gender imbalance in health in any way. This call to action has inspired this theme event 'Gender in Healthcare'.

Afterward, the TO NMO Buddies we were being facilitated by Catarina Pais Rodriguez (SCOME Director) along with CroMSIC Zagreb – Croatia and AzerMDS – Azerbaijan. On the TO NMO Buddies we discussed our input of amendment f ro m I F M S A B y - L a w s , c a n d i d a t e s o f I F M S A Executive Board and IFMSA Global Priorities. And lastly, on our first day, there was the newest agenda we have, named IFMSA Fringe, which consists of performing by various talent from delegates.

Starting our second day, the most anticipated event was the National Food and Drink Party.

According to the event name, it was an event to present each countries national food and drinks.

We, the Indonesian delegates brought some gudeg, rendang, sekoteng, dodol, abon, java coffee, and some shrimp crackers to be tasted.

Other delegates who visited our booth, felt curious about the taste of those foods. Their response was great, they felt our food is rich in flavor.

Every General Assembly of IFMSA Meeting, there was one prestigious event, named Rex Crossley Awards. Our NMO was represented by ANTIBIOTICS (Ayo Teliti BPJS on the Street) from CIMSA FK UNS. Through a selective selection process, there were only 10 activities represented on the Rex Crossley Awards. Presenting the ANTIBIOTICS, there was Tiara Putri Leksono as

Project Development Director CIMSA 2018-2019, explaining the concept, focus and also the impact of the activity. On the third day, following the Rex Crossley Awards, there was Exchange Fair. On this session, the main focus was to promote each country beneficially and for exchanges for exchange contract.

Our fourth day began with parallel session followed by Regional Session and IFMSA Global Priorities Events. Within the regional session, all of the delegates from Asia Pacific Region gathered and discussed our region condition and upcoming event in our region, which was Asia Pacific Regional Meeting in Hongkong hosted by AMSA Hongkong.

Furthermore, during the IFMSA Global Priorities Event, there were 6 topics to be discussed. Those a re U n i v e r s a l H e a l t h C o v e r a g e , S e x u a l a n d Reproductive Health & Rights, Antimicrobial Resistance, Social Accountability, Refugees and Migrants Rights and Health, and Children's Rights.

Last day on the March Meeting we had Activites Fair, among 69 activities presented there were 5 activities from Indonesia. Representing us, those were Human Rights Day (CIMSA UGM), RHAPSODY (CIMSA UNAIR), PREDICTION (MSCIA UB), MANDEH (CIMSA BEM-KM FK UNAND) & HKN-WDD (SCOPH CIMSA Nasional). Also, the most important session on the last day was voting for candidates of IFMSA's Executive Board.

We congratulate those who have been chosen! Keep up the good work and improve the impact of our federation activities around the world.

At last, those experiences on the 68th General Assembly March Meeting 2019, Slovenia was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, because of the joy and happiness we have made along with other delegates.

more attention and broad enough so locals can do more activities easier with the help of our statements to ease advocacy processes so the projects can be more impactful and reach wider range for its target. Through these policy statements, we point out our supports for SDGs especially on point 3,4,5 and 13. These policy statements then are divided into eight focus sections, which are Interprofessional Education, Climate Change and Disaster management, Human Rights and Gender Discrimination, Bioethics, HIV AIDS, Maternal Health, Communicable Diseases and Non Communicable Diseases.

by. SCORP - SCORA CIMSA According to Survey Pengalaman Hidup Perempuan Nasional (SPHPN) 2018, 1/3 of women in Indonesia have experienced sexual harassment in their lifetime. This bit of information does not only show the urgency of the issue in our nation, but it is also an alarming call for intervention.

With the rise of social media, more and more cases of sexual harassment have caught the public eye in recent years. More and more perpetrators are shamed of their actions and brought to justice. However, this isn't always the case. No matter how strong the power of social media may be, justice will never be brought to victims unless the case is actually followed through and processed by legal means. This process, however is not always easy, and victims are often shunned to silence.

This is where global movements started to take action, giving victims of such heinous acts a safe space to share their story and helping them to find pathways to healing.

The #MeToo movement was founded in 2006 in America to help survivors of sexual violence, particularly women of color. The hashtag became viral in less than 6 months and sexual violence became a national dialogue. In this year's International Women's Day, SCORA and SCORP CIMSA decided to take up the

13

#MeToo movement as a part of our campaign to empower women to share their stories and seek justice, as sexual violence and harassment is also an issue which has flared up in the past year.

After opening up with a video series on sexual harassment posted on social media, SCORA and SCORP CIMSA held our grand International Women's Day campaign on Saturday, 13th of April 2019 in Bandung. The event was called #MeToo: The Talk. As with the campaign, the event focused on the theme of sexual harassment and violence against women and more specifically, we aimed to enforce our role as youths in intercepting the issue. # M e To o : T h e Ta l k f e a t u r e d s e v e r a l prominent figures, more specifically women, who actively battle sexual harassment in Indonesia. #MeToo: The Talk opened with a talk from Ms. Risya A. Kori, gender specialist from U N F PA . M s . R i s y a p ro v i d e d u s w i t h t h e numbers and statistics of sexual harassment and sexual violence cases in Indonesia. Anyone who wasn't aware of how alarming the issue was, surely became aware after watching Ms. Risya's presentation. Ms. Risya also noted how there were more females than males amongst the participants, which was unfortunate as

MARCH - MAY ‘19

MeToo : The Talk International Women’s Day 2019 Bandung, West Java male involvement is very important in ensuring the elimination of sexual violence. Ms. Risya also noted the importance of privacy and identity of survivors and the power of social media in unraveling cases of sexual harassment in the modern age.

Next up was Ms. Anindya "Vivi" Restuviani, co-director of Hollaback! Jakarta, who introduced us to the methods of bystander intervention in countering sexual harassment in public spaces. Ms. Vivi also introduced us to the 5 methods of bystander intervention in cases of sexual harassment. She shared the role of non-government organizations and movements in Indonesia in ensuring the rights and justice of victims of sexual harassment and violence cases. With Hollaback! Jakarta, Ms. Vivi aims to provide a safe space for women in Indonesia to speak their truths and share their stories, and further empower them to get the justice they deserve. Ms. Vivi also pointed out the culture of victim blaming that still stands strong in our society.

The final speaker was Mrs. Nyimas Aliah, S.E. M.Ikom, one of the deputy assistants from KPPPA RI. Mrs. Nyimas spoke to us regarding the role of the government and authority in tackling the sexual harassment issue in Indonesia, including how KPPPA has given

sensitivity training to over 18.000 law enforcement officers on handling cases of sexual harassment and violence and also shared the progress and difficulties in passing the bill on elimination of sexual violence (or the RUU PKS as we may call it). #MeToo: The Talk ended with a talkshow session where participants were given the chance to ask questions to the panel of experts. A lively and invigorating discussion was held between the panel of experts and the participants, and everyone listened with open ears and hearts. One thing for sure, is that everyone who joined #MeToo: The Talk has walked out of the event with increased awareness on the issue of sexual harassment and violence and the determination to actively take part in stopping it.

National Peer Education Workshop 2019 by. SCORA CIMSA Every two years, SCORA CIMSA holds a national meeting called National Peer Education Workshop. The goal of NPEW is to train members of SCORA CIMSA to be Peer Educator's Trainers (PETRA). Last held in 2017, this year's NPEW was held in Jember by CIMSA UNEJ on 29-30 March, 2019. The theme for NPEW 2019 was “Strenghtening the Role of Peer Education in Society”.

National Peer Education Workshop 2019 consisted of several sessions. The very first agenda was Welcoming Party where CIMSA UNEJ welcomed all the delegates to Jember and introduce them to traditional dances and cultures of Jember. Next, the delegates were grouped into 10 groups to follow 5 training sessions delivered by PETRA graduated at NPEW 2017. In the first training session, the delegates were asked to deliver a presentation then tried to figure out their weakness in peer educating. On the second, third, and fourth training session, each group received trainings on Peer Educating, Peer, and Peer Educator.

There was one agenda that all delegates had been waiting for: the SCORALYMPIC, it was when all the delegates played 5 fun SCORA-themed games held by the OC and NCORA. Lastly, the meeting was finally ended with Bollywood-themed Farewell Party where we had the delegates and OC performances, topped off with the incarnation of our newly graduated PETRAs. National Peer Education Workshop was wonderful, full of laughter and joy, and was surely one of the best moment in SCORA CIMSA that could never be forgotten. Thank you to all SCORAngers for the amazing time at NPEW 2019 and we hope to see you at NPEW 2021! #NPEWOW2019!

The collaboration held by CIMSA and Amartha is in the form of health care programs in various rural areas in Indonesia. CIMSA has 23 locals in various Faculty of Medicine throughout Indonesia. CIMSA, with so many locals owned, has a wide opportunity to improve the level of public health in Indonesia, especially in rural areas. This collaboration comes from each organization's commitment in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 Agenda, especially in the field of public health and welfare. In addition, this cooperation is in accordance with CIMSA's vision and mission of empowering medical students and improving nation's health.

Until now, this collaboration program has been held in 4 regions in Indonesia, which are Malang, Jenggawah, Kalisat, and Jatinom involving SCOPH CIMSA, MSCIA UB, CIMSA

UNEJ, CIMSA UGM, CIMSA UKDW, and MMSA UMY. The total number of participants who attended the event reached 250 people in each region.

On this occasion, CIMSA members gained experience to practice their knowledge d i re c t l y w i t h t h e p e o p l e l i v i n g t h e re . I n addition, the location for the implementation of the program in Jember was used as a prospective village for community development by SCOPH CIMSA UNEJ and an assessment was carried out. CIMSA members who got the opportunity to be involved in this collaboration can also visit directly to the countryside and see how the health conditions in each village are.

Cooperation between CIMSA and Amartha is expected to be continued and can target other rural areas, especially outside Java. Through this collaboration, CIMSA is expected to be more active in helping remote communities to get health services for free and increase public understanding of the importance of health.

CIMSA - Médecins Sans Frontières by. Ni Made Trismarani In 1971, a group of doctors and journalists in France who wants equal medical rights for all humans, no matter their economic status, race, nation, religion and political views, established an international medical humanitarian organization c a l l e d M é d e c i n s S a n s F ro n t i è re s o r D o c t o r Without Borders, an organization that provides medical services to people who are in endemic area, natural disasters, conflict, unability of access the health services.

MSF in Indonesia has existed since 1995 and started its activities during an earthquake in Mount Kerinci, Jambi. Activities carried out by MSF in disaster areas are emergency response a c t i v i t i e s a n d t h e re h a b i l i t a t i o n p e r i o d . I n addition, MSF also provides basic health services, re h a b i l i t a t e s a n d m a n a g e s h o s p i t a l s , h e l p s improve health services for mothers and reproductive health services, conducts surgery, fights epidemics such as ebola, vaccinates, p ro v i d e s p s y c h o l o g i c a l s e r v i c e s a n d s o c i a l services and providing training to local medical staff.

services. The principles applied by MSF are the Medical Ethics Code, Impartiality and Neutrality, and Independence that must be implemented by us as doctors in the future.

According to prior explanation, MSF and CIMSA Indonesia initiated a collaboration to improve the quality and knowledge of medical students about disaster response and the involvement of doctors in humanitarian action both domestically and abroad. Collaboration between MSF and CIMSA has been implemented in several locals CIMSA including CIMSA UGM, CIMSA FK UNS, CIMSA YARSI, CIMSA UKDW, CIMSA FK Unpad, and SCOME Campaign on Human Resources for Health.

The form of cooperation that is established is to bring in doctors and MSF staff to share their experiences in carrying out humanitarian actions in Indonesia and other countries. In addition, MSF also provides training to members according to topics raised by each local. One example of the collaboration carried out was BORDERS by CIMSA UGM which raised the role of doctors in working in outlying areas. While CIMSA FK Unpad had the opportunity to learn about handling disasterinduced health crises from MSF doctors. In addition, CIMSA and MSF have created a timeline of collaboration that will be carried out in several localities in the coming months. Let's hope that our relationship can be sustainably established!

UKDW

BREAKING THE SILENCE

On Sunday, 18 November 2018, SCOME CIMSA UKDW was given a chance to hold an event called “Breaking the Silence”. Just like how it's named, this event truly broke the silence with the deafs. This event stole not only the attention of medical students from UKDW, but the whole students in Yogyakarta. The aim of this event was to develop interest and skill of doctor's and other caregiver about the importance of communication with the deaf when doing anamnesis.

This event was held at the campus of UKDW with 52 participants. To realize this event, SCOME UKDW worked in cooperation with Deaf Art C o m m u n i t y Yo g y a k a r t a , a r e n o w n d e a f organization in Yogyakarta. In this event, the participants were brought to know the world of “silence”, where people had to talk without hearing in the silence where sound can't be heard.

The event was started by a talkshow with dr.

Maria Silvia Merry, M.sc. the talkshow discussed about how the deaf inability to speak. The talk made the participants enthusiastic to keep up with the event. After that, the event followed with a lesson from Deaf Art Community Yogyakarta about the habits of the deaf, their daily life, and how to greet and talk with the deaf. This session

also made the participants excited because the lesson was brought directly by a deaf person with translator.

After that, the participants were divided into small groups and split into small classes to learn and deepen their skill to communicate with sign language. The people from Deaf Art Community and PUSBISINDO taught the basic of sign language to the participants, and brought up games which required the participants to use sign language. If there's a word they wanted to ask, they should ask it directly to the instructors, which made the participants eager to ask words they want to know.

To close the event, there was a special performance from the Deaf Art Community. It was a dance from the deaf together with the beatbox by the MC at the time. The dance which amazed the participants combined with funny beatbox by the MC making the room filled with applause and laughter. With the givings of placards and closing remarks, the event finally ended, leaving excitements in the air. If you got the chance to participate BTS in the future, then you better be cause it's a good chance for you to know the “silence”.

USU

One of the most important sensory tools for humans is the eye, through the eye, humans absorb visual information to carry out various activities. But there are many visual disturbances that often occur, ranging from mild to severe disorders that can lead to blindness. Efforts to prevent and overcome visual impairments and blindness need to get some attention. For this reason SCORP CIMSA FK USU, which has a domain of work for vulnerable people, conducts White Cane Day, which falls on October 15, where at this activity SCORP CIMSA FK USU collaborated with PERTUNI (Persatuan Tunanetra Indonesia), SMEC, and DAAI TV. They did this activities not only to commemorate the White Cane Day but also to perform a series of activities that not only benefits the blind but also benefit to many people around.

Public awareness in Indonesia especially in North Sumatra to vulnerable people, especially blind people is still lacking, based on our interviews with PERTUNI members, there are still very few humanitarian activities related to caring for the blind, most of the programs carried out by the government and local residents are only ceremonial and donations that may not be used m a x i m a l l y b y P E RT U N I . P E RT U N I w a s v e r y interested in participating in the White Cane Day activities because in this activity they would not only be involved, but they also felt that through this activity they could convey some of their aspirations that had not been conveyed so far. In the White Cane Day event, PERTUNI acted as the w o r k s h o p p ro v i d e r f o r a l l W h i t e C a n e D a y

WHITE CANE DAY participants, SD Ignatius, SLB-A Karya Murni and USU Faculty of Medicine students. They explained how to carry out their daily activities with tools such as white cane, braille, and other tools, then they played a game called 'Walking in the Dark' where in this game, the participants were invited t o f e e l v i s u a l l y i m p a i re d i n a f e w m i n u t e s .

Furthermore some PERTUNI members came forward to tell what they usually do and how they care about the people around them. We also held QnA session between PERTUNI and doctors from SMEC. In the QnA session, many of them complained about the lack of health facilities for blind people, also many of them asked about the prognosis of the disease they suffered and they told them what their hopes and desires were for the health workers.

We also got a positive response from other participants, specifically participants from SD Ignatius. Through this activity, they are more open to the circumstances around them where many p e o p l e a ro u n d t h e m e x p e r i e n c e b l i n d n e s s , specifically their friends from SLB-A Karya Murni, through this activity they also got to know each other more. Participants in SD Ignatius and SLB-A also felt very happy with the eye examination because there were few of them who had done eye examinations beforehand and they said that with this activity they knew how important their eyes were and how important it is to maintain eye health from an early age. Not only SD Ignatius and SLB-A Karya Murni participants, but also teachers who a c c o m p a n i e d t h e m a re m o re o p e n i n t h e i r knowledge about eye health.

ABSTINENCE According to Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Sumedang, the prevalence of Sexually Tr a n s m i t t e d D i s e a s e s ( S T D s ) i n K a b u p a t e n Sumedang (2017) is pretty high: 1667 cases in women and 625 cases in men. Through our preproject assessment involving middle school students of Jatinangor, we figured that their k n o w l e d g e re g a rd i n g S T D s a n d S e x u a l a n d Reproductive Health & Rights (SRHR) was considerably low, which may lead to further increase on number of STDs incidents in Jatinangor in near future. Therefore, to enhance t h e k n o w l e d g e o f o u r t a rg e t p o p u l a t i o n i n J a t i n a n g o r a b o u t t h e p re v e n t i o n , ro u t e o f transmission and causes of STDs and the importance of SRHR, SCORA CIMSA FK Unpad conducted ABSTINENCE (An Elaboration of Sexually Transmitted Infections).

On the second Friday in October 2018, we started ABSTINENCE with an upgrading through Local Peer Education Training (LPET) for the organizing committees (SCORA's member) about Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights. We

The day of our intervention to the students had finally come and we held our first activity with the students led by our Peer Educator Trainers, N u r u l A m e l i a R a h a y u P. a n d F a re s h a N a d i a Amanda. They explained the topics about SRHR and STDs, then we also had 12 Focus Group Discussions, separated according to their genders. Two study cases were given in this FGD, so the students could practice to implement what they had previously learnt from the Peer Education Trainers. Every facilitator was given a guideline so the standard, goals and impacts could be assured.

We ended this project with three outdoor games: ÒTebak KataÓ, ÒTebak GambarÓ, and ÒTebak GayaÓ, still in correlation with our main topics. We had an exhilarating day at MTs Ma'arif Cikeruh, and we hope the participants could gain more knowledge about the importance of STDs preventions and Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights.

aorta FLASH & PHRASE

Indonesia: The Neglected & Non-Communicable Child

By. Jonathan Salim 21

MARCH - MAY ‘19 Dear medical students, Nowadays, Indonesia has the upper hand in quantity and variety of endemic diseases; which happened to be the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).

NTDs are neglected tropical diseases which are infectious and strongly associated with poverty, tropical climate, and vile area.

NTDs coexist with poverty because of access to clean limited water and sanitation and protection from disease vectors. The disease can impair pediatric intellectual development, reduce school enrollment, and hinder economic productivity by limiting the ability of infected individuals to work.

Likewise, NTDs is a burden to the world with high transmission and mortality index, such as: leishmaniasis with 650 000 – 1 090 000 new global annual cases and its high coinfection prevalence with HIV; as well as, rabies with mortality every 10 minutes where 40% are children. In Indonesia, the major neglected tropical diseases can be classified as: ascariasis, hookworm, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, leprosy, and etc.

On the other hand, NCDs are chronic conditions are characterized by disease that do not result from acute infectious process, not communicable, can cause premature morbidity, dysfunction, and reduced quality of life.

NCDs are the etiology for 60% of global m o r t a l i t y. 6 3 % o f g l o b a l d e a t h s i n 2 0 0 8 resulted from NCDs, principally cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, cancers, and chronic respiratory diseases. This burden is a major global public health challenges, regardless of their socioeconomic status.

WHO stated that Indonesian people have 23% probability of mortality between 30-70 years old because of NCDs. Further study on 2016 portrays that NCDs accounts for 73% of total deaths. The top three Indonesian NCDs with highest mortality rate are cardiovascular disease (35%); maternal, perinatal, & nutritional conditions (21%); and cancers (12%).

Other than that, NCDs also depreciate Indonesia economic condition. Harvard analysis estimates that the loss of labor due to NCDs will lead to a substantial reduction in the country's productive capacity that is much bigger than those of its Asia neighbors.

Above all, due to the scarcity of research and publication in Indonesia, as well as the low a w a re n e s s o f N T D s a n d N C D s ' t h re a t i n Indonesian citizens, NTDs and NCDs are the appropriate endemic theme for the fulfilment of further research such as: GAP Exchange.

This in turn also promotes the development of human resource for health, as well as the 3rd and 4th SDGs, “Good health and well-being” and “Quality education”.

With mother nature warm nurture and care, why should Indonesia become the child infested with neglect and non-communicable illness?

MARCH - MAY ‘19 Two years have gone by, now SCORP CIMSA is back with SCORP CAMP 2019. As we all have known, SCORP CAMP is a SCORP's national meeting which facilitates not only SCORP member, but also every CIMSA's member who has interests in human rights issues and environmental sustainability. Last SCORP Camp was held at Universitas Yarsi, Jakarta in 2017. This year, SCORP CIMSA FK UNS has been given the opportunity to host this event. Unlike any other national meeting in CIMSA, SCORP CAMP will give CIMSA's member the experience to feel what is like out there living with refugee's condition.

As the issues about human rights, disaster, climate change, and refugees continue to evolve and come to the surface, we as millennials should pay more attention regarding these issues. SCORP CIMSA has come up with an idea regarding these issues, and it is called SCORP CAMP! SCORP CAMP serves as a place for all member of CIMSA to be trained to become Human Right Trainer (HRT) and CIMSA's Humanitarian Response Team (CHRT). As a medical student, we can raise our voice and inuence others about human rights issues such as human right awareness, women and child abuse, and health as human rights. These actions could be achieved by intense training that will be given by selected HRT and also other external speakers to boost your knowledge about human rights. Also, by being CHRT, you could contribute at post-disaster area, while still providing helps that refugees need.

U n i v e r s i t a s S e b e l a s M a re t i s v e r y honoured to be the host of SCORP CAMP 2019, we hope with this event, CIMSA's members could bring their knowledge about all the issues we listed above to their daily life as a medical student, and change the world f o r t h e b e t t e r. S e e y o u a t S u r a k a r t a !

EXCHANGE STORY My name is Faza Nurul Wardhani and I am a 4th grade medical student in Bandung Islamic University. To think about it, I never imagine before that I could survive in 1 month in another country. I always have interest in genetic since I was high school and wondering whether I can do it in real life because most likely the resource in my country not as good as the others. I am the first one to be accepted in SCORE exchange at my university and that made me feel excited even more! Things that I experienced was: the research project, sophisticated technologies, and lots of food!

The Town: Hualien

Research Project T h e p ro j e c t t h a t I w o r k e d o n w a s Regulation of Ethanol Degradation in Acinetobacter baumannii. My tutor was Dr. Guang-Huey Lin from department of microbiology. The aim of the project is to study the gene regulation of bacteria. On week 1, I started from zero because I have never done any of this before. But fortunately, the tutor and the people in the lab were very kind for showing me around and guide me to understand everything from making the agar and LB, Plasmid extraction, PCR, and the stress assay until I can do it myself. As a moslem, I have a lot of food limitations, but the people in the lab encourage me to try all of the Taiwanese food and tell me which one I can't eat. That's

Hualien is a unique city, being in the middle of ocean and mountain. I came there in August-September, when it's really sunny but also rainy. I visited Taipei, Nanbin park, Dongdamen night market, Tzu Chi Jing She, and Taroko National park. Hualien is a nice place to walk on. Unfortunately, there was typhoon in the last week so I can't go anywhere.

My stay: Dorm I stayed at the university dormitory with initially one PhD student from Thailand. My dormmate was very helpful right from the beginning, as well as my contact person, who picked me up from the train station and showed me around the city. I felt very welcomed. On the second week, I met another exchange student from Croatia, Josipa Kajiç. Fortunately, we were in the same lab, so we can go around and explore Hualien city together.

Thank you so much, FMS-Taiwan!
