NPO’S NOTE Dearest SCOPHeroes, Standing Committee on Public Health has always been a place for medical students to improve themselves as well as the quality of public health in the society. In CIMSA, we are facilitated with so many platforms on which Indonesian medical students can express their ideas and vision into various activities. The last 8 months has been a series of exciting journeys for our beloved Standing Committee. We are proud to have held our annual project, World Diabetes Day, in collaboration with the Health Ministry’s National Health Day. Also, we are thrilled to have several new local additions to our family, Universitas Jember as an official SCOPH local member and Universitas Sumatera Utara as our observer. Creating positive impact costs us lots of time and energy. As we keep on doing our best to actualize Sustainable Development Goals, we need a set of strategic methods in executing our current activities. That is why, this year, we hope to keep on developing our organization by refining SCOPH strategic plan for the next 3 years. Hence, we hope that you can be a part of this massive change. With so many exciting things to be shared, National Public Health Committee 2016/2017 is proud to present KaleidoSCOPH #11. Prepare yourself for a brand new CIMSA and be the change, as Steve Jobs once said, “Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world usually do.” Let’s Keep On Improving Nation’s Health, Shall We? Orange Hugs, Nathania Raphaeli Mulia National Public Health Officer CIMSA 2016/2017

The Emerging Market of Medical Tourism by: Ajrina Rarasrum
Medical tourism refers to people travelling abroad to obtain treatment. Medical tourism developed because patient becoming more aware to search high quality care with affordable price. Reasons other than cost to travel overseas for health care include better treatment, as well as avoiding long waiting lists and getting questions from colleagues and family. The treatment they seek the most is surgery. For example, in 2016, heart bypass surgery in US cost $123,000, meanwhile in Malaysia cost $12,100 and in Thailand cost $15,000. In Southeast Asia, Indonesian is the biggest source of patient for its neighbours country medical tourism. In 2012, 57% of Malaysia medical tourism patient comes from Indonesia. Top 3 most visited Southeast Asia country for Indonesian medical tourist is Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore. Malaysia is famous for muslim patient and had eight hospitals earning Join Commision International certification, with affordable price. Singapore has a high technology equipment and high skilled medical professional making it the place for Indonesian patient seeking more advance treatment. Thailand has a strong government support and competitive price.

Indonesian trying to enter the medical tourism field by opening an international hospital with a partnership from one of the famous international hotel chain in Bali specifically targeting medical tourist with package and service but the fact is we haven’t make it to become the top 10 destinations for tourists seeking healthcare, such as Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. We need international marketing effort. We can learn how South Korea advertise their plastic surgery tourism package by endorsing one of Korean video blogger based in Indonesia to do 5 day plastic surgery treatment. The most important thing is we need more government support to create several policies to increasing the medical tourism market, such as reduction of taxation on imported medical equipment or creating of visa specifically for medical tourist.

Also, He gave us so many tips and tricks how to keep our self healthy so that diabetes mellitus will not come to us. Another thing that he highlighted, he wants all the radio’s listener who already diagnosed by diabetes mellitus to not worry too much, because we can control our blood glucose. The last series of KARAMEL event, also as the closing event, is health promotion and glucose check that held in SCOPH CIMSA UNS’s desa binaan, RW 36 Mojosongo, Jebres, Surakarta. This event held on Sunday, November 27th, 2016. We invite dr. Nadia from PERSADIA Solo, as the speaker for health promotion. The audiences, RW 36 Mojosongo’s citizens, were so enthusiastic and pay attention to dr. Nadia’s explanation. In the ending session, they asked so many things that related to their health and myth about diabetes mellitus. Following the health promotion, we did free blood glucose and blood pressure check. This activity aims to improve SCOPHeroes’s skill and to know more about our desa binaan condition. Also, we can transfer our knowledge which w have got from mini class before.

After dr. Nadia’s session, we also give some explanation about our government’s programs; GERMAS. This is also our way to celebrate HKN (Hari Kesehatan Nasional) that commemorated on November 12th every year. We have a nice conversation with the citizens who queue for glucose and blood pressure check. GERMAS has three main activities; they are doing activities every 30 minutes per day, daily consuming fruits and vegetables, and routinely doing health check once every semester (minimum). We also held the campaign on Car Free Day in the same day but with different team. Every single event held in successful way, event there were some difficulties that can be handled. We hope after this project, SCOPHeroes increasing their knowledge about diabetes mellitus and people, especially in Solo and our desa binaan, can be more aware about diabetes mellitus and its complication. Also we hope that people will have more willing to do GERMAS.

Mrs. Farida as the head of the lorong IV gampong pusong felt very grateful to the arrival of CIMSA in their village. He is very supportive with the holding of this activity. Hopefully in the future he wants this event to continue and can bring tangible benefits that can be felt by the local community. He also advised not to get bored coming to their village, because they not only need money-shaped assistance but concern for others. Hopefully with the holding of this project SCOPH CIMSA Unimal can help children gampong pusong to stay healthy so as to continue to excel in school and avoid the worms that harm.

Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb HI SCOPHIANS! As an independent and non profit organization, CIMSA gives you more chance to be an active medical students. Not only do the daily activities as medical students, member of each Standing Committee can do more for improving Nations Health. Joined with SCOPH CIMSA made me aware about the public health problems around me. Without joined in this Orange Family, I did not know about Millenium Development Goals, Sustainable Development Goals, Community Development and etc. Of course, Know is not enough to improve Nations Health. SCOPH CIMSA help me to do the activities based on the knowledge I had. Every local of SCOPH CIMSA has their own program to empower us to do the activities beyond our imagination. Since 2011, I feel the experiences that I never had before. Manage the program based on the problem in the community (apply Plan-Do-Check-Act steps), evaluate the program routinely, learn from the mistakes, meet the great people, and I also have so many friends: scophians from other locals till the scophians from other country. I get a lot of benefits when joining to this family, SCOPH CIMSA. Perhaps, you can’t feel the effects now. But, when you are already working as a doctor, serve the community, improving nations health with your own way, You’ll realize that SCOPH CIMSA has taught you many things. Wassalamualaikum Wr.Wb
