CIMSA Humanitarian’s Response Team Report Lombok, August 27th – September 2nd 2018

“Earthquakes and plate tectonics are a vibrant and critical element that keeps this Earth alive. They’re part of the pulse. They’re the breath of the planet that makes it a great place to live.”

“For 7 days we’ve learnt more about human right for the refugees”, it represented our experience in Lombok. A huge sorrow in Indonesia after 7 SR earthquake happened on July, 28th 2018. More than a thousand quakes came after it since July, 29th - August 26th 2018. SCORP CIMSA opened GALAKSI TAB and empowered CIMSA Humanitarian’s Response Team (CHRT) to help the refugees.

Bisuk (NORP CIMSA 2018-2019), Nita (VNE SCORP 2018-2019), Salsabila (CHRT) and Deriana (CHRT) were the representatives of CIMSA to help the refugees.The first team, Bisuk and Nita, assessed the refugees about the logisctics they needed. GALAKSI TAB donation was used to fulfill the logistics based on the assessment by the second team, Salsabila and Deriana.

Before going to Lombok, we’ve coordinated

with BPBD. We choose North Lombok as our main priority because North Lombok was one of the areas that affected the most by the earthquake. Indonesian Air Force helped us to fly to Lombok with Hercules and there were Mr Lalu, Yayan and Ardi who helped us with the transportation in Lombok.

On August, 27th 2018, the first team flew to North Lombok and went to the main refugees' camp in front of the government office. Many houses were destroyed, platoon tents lined up along the way for all the refugees. We met 2 volunteers from UNAIR and UGM. We observed the refugees' camp to look the areas that needed help the most.

The next day, we coordinated with the leader of Health Cluster and Mr. Joni as the Chief Executive of BNPB, whom responsible for

North Lombok. We were directed to make an assessment in Tanjung district, where it was quite far from the refugees' camp.

prayers are all for Lombok, may things get better real soon.

Villagers had a big trauma because of the earthquake. They did nothing everyday, their mental health is affected, so SCORP CIMSA decided to help them by giving emotional and logistic supports, such as platoon tents, tarpaulin, and cooking set.

On August, 31st 2018, the second team came to Tanjung district and arrived around 8pm. They distributed the resources to the leader of the village. After that, we all went to Mataram and spent the night at Mr. Lalu's house, before going back to our hometown in the next day.

It was such an honor for CIMSA, especially SCORP, where we could empower our CHRT to give help to the refugees. Our deepest gratitude for all members of CIMSA, SCORPCIMSA, CHRT, Indonesian Air Force, all the volunteers, and Mr. Lalu's Family, because it wouldn't have been well without you. Our

ASIA PASIFIC REGIONAL MEETING

APRM: To Make Words a Reality

By Kadek Dhanya – CIMSA UNAIR Intense 3 days of gaining new knowledge, honing new skills, meeting fellow human rights and peace student enthusiast and sharing the projects, activities, ideas and dream. Asia Pacific Regional Meeting was surely a memorable experience that I had always dreamed of. Briefly, it can be divided into training for new trainers, advocacy and policy making, and surely the SCO sessions!

A regional networking is what we are aiming for and sessions are the integral part of it.

As a human rights enthusiast and part of SCORP, I joined the SCORP session and much I can say it was fascinating. What shapes SCORP as it is today is its mission to create an international agent of change.

There is lot sceptics of what we, mere medical students, can do to shapes the world peace, but I do believe even the smallest act when brought together, it will surely leave an impact.

The sessions consisted on several topics, such as: Human Rights 101, Ethical training with mental health compartment, international humanitarian law and physiological first aids, health inequality,

gender base violence, and universal basic income. Let’s look briefly on some of these topics.

Human Rights 101 This is why SCORP exist.

I’ll say that simple statement is so powerful that in every SCORP meetings, it is fundamental to remind us again, of why are we here? To which and one of us, we gained freedoms that are guaranteed by signed document called Universal Declaration of Human Rights in December 10th, 1948. This declaration sets an ideal example for the human rights movement across the globe. In the modern world, we adopt the concept of individualism which every person has their own free thinking. After the UDHR, most of the global declaration focuses on (relatively small) community based human rights such as Universal Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and UN declaration on sexual orientation and gender identity. This means, that people are being more conscious about their rights and fight for it until a declaration released which sets their

NEWS-APRM | 14

STETOSCORP place in this earth. We, SCORPions, are lucky that we live in a world where people come together to advance the ideals and gain a mutual respect.

International Humanitarian Law and Physiological First Aid Physical injury is only temporary, but mental wounds stays forever.

Based on International Committee of Red Cross, International humanitarian law is a set of rules which limits the effect of international armed conflict. It protects person who are not or are no longer participating in the hostilities and restricts the means and methods of warfare. It protects civilians, medical personnel, religious personnel and wounded or sick military personnel. In the past, history has written many discriminations on less fortunate state and caused unnecessary suffering as effect of warfare.

As humans, we encounter many distressing events in our everyday life. People cope differently. In an emergency and distressing event, as many as 57 % people suffers from psychological issues. Psychological First Aid provides a protection, and extra support, for them who are suffering, confused and very much vulnerable. PFA provides a guidance for every person, not only professionals health care provider, to take a responsibility which shapes a person’s future. There are 3 main principles: safety, dignity and rights.

Safety as in avoid any harm that may cause further wounds, dignity as in treat people with respect based on their cultural and social norms, and rights as in making sure these people can access help without any discrimination. Using these principles, any capable person can help people feel reassured and calm, preventing them to collapse and suffering from PTSD. This of course is a very brief explanation and we do hope everyone to read WHO PFA Guide for field worker.

Gender Base Violence An issue that is much talked on but less acted upon.

GBV can be in numerous forms, whether its physical, emotional, psychological or sexual acts which are against a person’s will and is based on gender norms. Sometimes, it is mistaken as a violence exclusively for girls, but violence in boys happens too. To eradicate gender base violence means to reform social norms & traditional belief. In our discussion, we agree that one of the most effective ways are marriage planning & access to justice. Family is a source of violence, whether we admit it or not. By premarriage planning, couples can create a positive environment and learning conflict resolution skills. Ideally, this counseling is provided in local community health center.

Creating a healthy marriage is an investment of future community with healthyrelationship, eventually traditional belief which suppress equality will subside. It is, indeed, a long shot. If violence already occurs, providing a safety plan can avoid dangerous situations. Safety plan means an access to justice. Numerous laws are made to condemn any gender base violence, but the access and implementation doesn’t meet the ideal state. By having a marriage counselor in local health center, victims will have a “safe place” to seek justice in a GBV. Being a student is a privilege. It gained us a role as youth spokesperson, whose ideas are heard and considered by governmental and non-governmental organization. It gained us access to organize a discussion such as the SCORP session. One important lesson that I brought home is no matter how developed the country is, human rights is always at risk of being violated. In Asia-Pacific, every country are facing different kinds of human rights violation. Every one of us is concerned and eager to make a difference. Every SCORPions in Asia-Pacific region has their own way to solve those problems. Some

managed to even break into the government policy about disabilities access in public places and create a wave of change in their locals. Some managed to convinced schools to provide a sex & gender education by giving free lectures and workshops in primary school. This is SCORP making words into reality, this is SCORP that implements their vision and mission.

The question remains, after series of discussion and meetings, how will we implement this in our locals? How will we make words into reality? The message is simple: Believe that young minds are capable and very eager to make an impact for the world health progress.

The Air We Breath Event

CIMSA at The Air We Breath Event

By Nita Tri On July 31th 2018, CIMSA attended “The Impacts of Air Pollution on Health and The Solution to Insure Children’s Protection Symposium” which was held by UNICEF and BAPPENAS (Natinal Development Planning Agency). This time, CIMSA was represented

by Jannatiah (VPE CIMSA 2018-2019), Sherly (LO UNA 2018-2019), Batara Bisuk (NORP CIMSA 2018-2019), Nita Tri (VNE SCORP 2018-2019), Sonia Fitriani (VNI SCORP 20182019), Rahmi Shofiana (PC SCORP 20182019), Fazra Mahalli (RC Region 3 20172018), and Wira Dwiputra (CHRT).

CIMSA has the opportunity to become a guest speaker on the talkshow panel represented by Sherly and Bisuk. In this session, CIMSA discussed about water pollution, especially regarding tips and tricks to overcome air pollution and its effects on childrens health. Not only in childrens, even adults can be affected. In addition, CIMSA also focuses on raising awareness. Because rasing awareness is the key point, which serves to tackle air pollution. CIMSA carries out various projects, such as sustainable project, community development for raising awareness. In addition there are several

campaigns conducted by CIMSA, such as air campaigns and ground campaigns. The moderator of the talk show was Daniel Kass, MSPH, Senior Vice President, Enviromental Health for Vital Strategies (United States).

The other speakers from Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Space and Environment Stylish of Jakarta, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), KPPB, and the Ex of Indonesian Coordinator which was funded by GIZ ‘Clean Air for Smaller Cities in the ASEAN Region.

Panel lecture, prof. Amadeo from Canada discusses the influence of water pollution on the brain. Water pollution can have neurocognitive effects. When children breathe pollution water and enter the brain, there is a particle called PM.2,5 in water pollution that will enter the blood vessels and settle in the brain can cause neuroinflamation or Alzheimer's disease.

Water pollution also affects miscarriage of pregnant women. And another fact that is quite alarming is that around 29% of people in this world do not breathe clean air.

Therefore, CIMSA pays attention to the problem of water pollution. We also

associate this air pollution with human rights issue. Through this collaboration, we are hoping to grow more as an organization, engage more, and be more impactful.

Haze Project: MASKER

MASKER : Mari Bersama Perangi Udara Kotor

by Yovie Suryani – CIMSA UNRI “ The best thing ever happened is what you never expected to be”. That is MASKER for us.

On August 12th – 15th 2018, CIMSA held Haze Project with UNESCO along with IPB and EcoFun in Siak, Riau. This first collaboration of CIMSA and UNESCO was focused on raising environmental awareness and air pollution’s impacts for human and environment. Knowledges about real-time air quality monitoring system was delivered for school to provide teachers and students a better comprehension of air quality index, air pollution and its impact on health and environment.

On the first day of Haze Project, we arrived at Siak to observe the location. Then we got briefings from Prof. Dr. Ir. H. Bambang Hero Saharjo, M.Agr. as Siak Regency UNESCO Project Team Leader. During this project, we lived with the local people. We were amazed because we met with villagers who are concerned with air pollution and the Haze Project itself.

The Second day, we began the training at SD

12 Sungai Rawa. Trainers from SCORP CIMSA, called Human Rights Trainer (HRT) gave some trainings, simulations and practices to student of SD 12 Sungai Rawa and MTs Nurul Ikhsan. Each HRT trained three groups : Group X (Grade1-2), Group Y (Grade 3-4), and Group Z (Grade 5-6). Like other training sessions by CIMSA, we began with pre-test before proceeding to the main explanation, ice breaking, and mask usage’s practice. To attract more students about this activities, we also held a competition about their knowledge of Haze Project and forest fire. All students were very excited with the materials provided by the trainers. After the sessions, we gave the students gift packages that consisted of drawing book, eraser, pencils and coloring kit.

On the Third day, we held training at MTs Nurul Ikhsan. We made different approaches within the training sessions because the mean ages are different from the ones in SD 12. Students of MTs Nurul Ikhsan were more active to ask the trainers about Haze Project.

We also made interactive QnA session to elaborate more about the materials. Like usual, we also made pre-test and post-test

NEWS-MASKER | 19

session. At last, HRT gave a practice about ‘What Happens to Our Lungs when We Inhale’. We got a lot of attention and excitement and about the session.

We tried and even stammering to speak with their local language, but they still give their attention to the event. At the end, the students wrote a meaningful farewell letters for us like “Thank you! Here we learned more than we knew”, “Thank you for your kindness, hope you come back!”, or “Success for everything!”. Those were so simple, yet very heartwarming for us.It was such an wonderful collaboration with UNESCO, the local children and villagers, HRT, and others. We all learned the meaning of 'from give to give'. We dared to be remarkable.

AUGUST MEETING 2018

AUGUST MEETING 2018 - MONTREAL

By Deviena Nabila – CIMSA UI On the first day, all the delegates get to know each other, and the International Team introduce themselves and explain about what we'll be doing for the next 5 days. After setting the ground rules, we move on to the SCORP sessions. There's two option, Human Rights 101 and Human Trafficking. Since I didn't know much about human rights, I joined the human rights 101 where I was given many essential information about human rights. The Session Team explain about what's human rights, the current condition and what can we do about it. After that each person were given a post-it which contains a sentence describing one human right in daily life and then each person will go to the front of the classroom where they put up one big paper on the board, it was divided into three section based on the generation of human rights and then everyone who have the post-it should put it on the paper based on which generation we think it belongs to. First generation: civil and political rights. Second generation: social, economic, cultural rights. Third generation: rights of people.

After that, we move on to the second agenda

which is the small working group. We're divided into four small groups with different topics, there's one talking about SCORP strategic plan, one about SCORPions empowerment, one about SCORP involvement and visibility, and one about world peace day. I joined about world peace day where we brainstorm a plan and try to find the best way to commemorate the day.

We focused on the form of the activity and the promotion of it.

On the second day, we have voting preparation, a session about impact of war and terrorism on global health a case study and a session from the IFMSA human rights external representation. During the impact of war and terrorism on global health, we were divided into 4 groups and given a case from countries that are under the circumstances and my group got Syria. We analyze the situation from the case given and we have to find out several points on the condition.

What were the ‘red flags’, that lead to the collapse of the health system?

- Which actions committed contradict the

NEWS-AM | 21

STETOSCORP International Humanitarian Law (IHL)?

- In your own words: why does Malaria (polio) impose such a threat to the health of the Yemenis (Syrians)? Why does it pose a threat to global health?

- How did/ might this conflict influence the health of other countries?

- How can one improve the disaster preparedness of a health system to prevent its collapse?

The last agenda for the 2nd day SCORP session is about the SCORP Global External Focus or (GEFA) which focuses on 3 things: Refugees’ and Migrant's Health and Rights, Humanitarian Action, Children's Health and Rights. The external representation present the explanation about what IFMSA does outside of the board of IFMSA with other i n s t i t u t i o n . We a l s o t a l k a b o u t t h e importance of aligning the activities that are done by each NMOs or Locals with these focuses to match the goal. And then after that we're divided into 3 groups to discuss deeper about each focus that has been mentioned before. We also have a video from one of UN agencies (UNRWA). For the focus discussion group I joined the one that's about children's health and rights and talked about the networking and link plan to external parties who works on this issue and how to build internal capacity regarding this issue.

On the third day, we have a presentation by IPCC representative. After that, we're divided into 2 groups for debate, one who's pro on nuclear utilization as a weapon and the other one is against it. I got the against group. We have a very short time to develop everything that we'll say on the debate, the setting is a kind of simulation of a real formal diplomatic meeting which made it pretty fun because we have to make every word to represent our means of stating the obvious to not use nuclear as a weapon.

For the joint session, I went to SCORPxSCOPH session with the topic of

‘Public Health in Conflict Areas’. Here we were given an explanation about the health condition in emergency situation. We also play ‘pick a corner’, so there’s a case on the slide and then we got 4 options, each corner is assigned to each option, so after we read the case we have to go to which corner that match our opinion or what we’ll do about the situation. I really like this part because everyone (well.. not exactly everyone because the limited time) got to tell their reason or opinion why they choose this corner/option, it’s really fun to know different action that a person would take because of some different perspective.

For SCORP regional session the main topic is about gender-based violence. First, we discuss about what is GBV, what causes it and the outcome of GBV. After that, we're divided into small groups (2-3 person) based on the forms of GBV and give examples of GBV cases that happened in our countries.

Day 5, SCORP fair!! First thing we have on the last SCORP session, this is where every NMOs got the chance to present their activity, everyone took their place around the room and set up their posters. Next we have another session for voting, this is where I represent the NORP from our NMO on taking the decision of agreeing upon some topic. What I learned from this, is how we have the voice to make a change for what really matters. After that we go into another session for small working group to finish up the work (there's only 2 time allocated for the SWG). My group come up last, we present our plan for the World Peace Day. We tried to make an activity that everyone around the world could participate. We first came up with something like a campaign but it doesn't really make a real impact, we want to make something that really contribute to making the world a peaceful place so we came up with a week challenge. It's a list of small things that we can do such as smiling, greeting, helping small tasks, etc that we can do for a week. To make a promotion for it we

NEWS-AM | 22

STETOSCORP

also made a hashtag for this activity, piece4peace because it contains pieces of small things we can do to make a peace.

This is my ďŹ rst ever international meeting and I could say that it really changed me as a person, this opportunity gave me a reason to get involved in something bigger where everyone is working together to make a vision come true. This is also where I gain many new knowledges that I could not mention one by one but it truly gives me insight on what we (as a student) can do to create a better change. On the other hand, it also made me more aware about the condition of medical students role around the world, some have more access to giving contribution to the world but some are less fortunate. To sum it up, it has been a life changing 5 days of my life as a medical student.

ACTION 2018

ACTION 2018 - JAPAN

By Shafa Gendis – CIMSA UI There's a lot of saying about being a medical student means being trapped in exams, books, and lecture. But I believe, being a medical student is about extending your own limits to build a better life of others in the future.

First thing that I did when I become the newbie of CIMSA UI is to ďŹ ll out the ACTION 2017 participation form. I still remember being insecure about joining an international program that was held in Surabaya. But then to have the opportunity to joined international program is what I aim to do in CIMSA.

case of disaster so that they are able to be socially function in the community.

These lessons that I have from joining ACTION, is one thing that I remember forever. The experience of overcoming cultural barriers and connect with others from different background is the other thing that I'm willing to cherish. Overcome the culture barrier, that's what we need to conquer the world and at the same time, heal it.

I took the opportunity to joined ACTION 2018 again and it has been the best trip of my medical student life. I visited the SONA Area which has awe me in how Japan regulation and control about disaster is very detail and is emphasizing on their community's wellbeing. I also have the opportunity to learned about mental health by the lecturer from Save The Children. But the most important lecture that I remember is about 'Build Back Better'. On which as a future leaders, we have to be able to bring up those who fall in

GO SCORP 2018

GO SCORP 2018 - TAIWAN

By Helen Natalia – CIMSA UGM A sentence to describe what Go SCORP means to me is “It was the best fourteen days in my life”. Go SCORP 2018 which was held on August 12 th – 26 th is an interactive international volunteering program held by SCORP Taiwan in Taiwan. The goal of the program is to introduce a whole new perspective of medical education, to encourage future doctor counterparts around the world to try out more possibilities to contribute to the worldwide society and to cultivate the ability to sense the needs of others. The whole program was divided into two main activities, Academic program week and Volunteering program week.

The first week which was academic week mainly consists of trainings, lectures, hospital visits and seminars. I know It may sound as It was a boring week. Well, It turned out that this first week gave us memorable life experiences as much as the volunteering week gave us. On the first day, we had a training about medical inquiry. It was all about how to do a medical history taking to patient. Right after the training, we practiced how to do standard patient inquiry to a simulation patient with the help of the

contact person to translate to the patient.

Then, we had a volunteering preparatory time which was a regular session on night to prepare the next week volunteering program. In this session, we were told about the group divisions, activities we were going to do, cultures and things we need to know before we go there. The day ended by conducting a welcoming party at a Chinese restaurant with endless food keep coming to the tables! What a beautiful night to start the week of Go SCORP 2018.

The next day, we had two lectures. The first one was about Medical Presentation 101. We learnt how to make an eye-catching presentation by learning some tips to do editing on Power Points. The other one was about Traditional Medicine by Chi-Fang Chen, MD, MS, PhD(c). The lecturer mentioned that Traditional Medicine is all about taking into account the whole pattern of each physical and mental-emotional symptoms and combining treatment using either herb, acupuncture, massage, dietary suggestions, or life style recommendations.

Later, the lecturer did a practice treating symptoms to a few participants by doing

NEWS-GOSCORP | 25

STETOSCORP acupuncture.

We had a psychiatry training on day three by an Associate Professor and Attending Psychiatrist, Kevin Chien-Chang Wu, MD, LLB, LLM, PhD. The training was about the history of psychiatry, symptomology and psychiatry diagnosis deeply in Schizophrenia. Take home messages from the lecturer was “ Psychiatry always involves good communication : when , what , how to communicate “. Then, we visited Museum of Medical Humanities. There we saw lots of collections of Histories about NTU Department of Medicine, human specimens, tropical medicine, laboratory apparatuses and instruments. We also went to NTU Hospital to have a training about Minimally Invasive Surgery. Participants were all full of enthusiasm to do the surgical knot tying , laparoscopy simulation and visited a microscopy laboratory.

This forth day’s morning was began by a discussion about medical ethics. We were given a topic about Stem Cells to discuss and present it to other groups. It was so exciting.

This session helped us to see a topic from so many different perspectives from the participants which come from so many different countries all around the world.

Next, We strolled around the area of NTU main campus. It is so beautiful with a huge park inside, such a relaxing place.

On the last day of academic program, we had only one training by Derrick Ding-Cheng Chan MD, PhD, FACP. It was about Elderly Health Care Training. We were told about aging population countries and all about geriatric medicine : Principles of Successful Aging. The academic week finished by doing a pizza party together and we had a free time afterward same as the previous four nights.

On weekend, we had a social program to Shi Fen and Jiou Fen. Shi Fen, locates in Pingxi Area, is a marketplace famous for people to do a wish written on a lantern and set lantern to the sky at the train track. Second place

Jiou Fen is an old street that is well known with its famous Taro Glutinous Rice Cake.

There are many unique tea houses here and we can see the beautiful ocean view of Keelung Outer Sea as well.

The second week was about volunteering in an elementary school located in Wufeng District, Taichung City. To begin our volunteering program, we had a registration for the student in the program. We had ice breaking time with the children to begin the day. Then, on each four days, we taught the children about certain topics. On the first day, the children were taught about organs in the body and oral hygiene : How to brush teeth correctly and oral diseases and sports injury to the children using poster. On the second day, we had drama sessions about identifying waste, do recycling and healthy diets. We made a pot plan with the children using bottles. We also had “ Around the World” Session which the participants were asked to explain about their home country to the children. The participants also had a home visit to a local home with doctors.

Listening to the medical consultation they had and later discussed the results together.

On the next day, we shared languages from each of different countried to one another ( participants) and children. They learnt about various languages from participants’ countries. On the third day, there was a handcraft session. The handcraft we made was a book handcraft from a big carton paper which hopefully the children can give the book as their gifts to their Grand Fathers to celebrate Grand Father’s Day. On the last day, we had a knowledge treasure hunt with so many different topics to do in so many interactive ways to teach such as amazing race, playing games, videos and so on. On the last day, the book which we prepared on first week were given to the children with photos inside the book which made the book looks like an album. We wrote messages for them, hoping one day we would meet in another beautiful chances.

/ INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE 2018 /

Supporting Syrian Refugees to Achieve a Lasting Piece “Syria is the biggest humanitarian and refugee crisis of our time, a continuing cause of suffering for millions which should be garnering a groundswell of support around the world. Ultimately, Syria’s conflict isn’t about numbers – it’s about people. Families have been torn apart, innocent civilians killed, houses destroyed, businesses and livelihoods shattered. It’s a collective failure.”

Syria’s war reaches another grim milestone — 7 years of conflict and refugees facing great hurdles to finding protection, shelter, services and hope for a future without violence. As war continues, hope is fading fast. We are all human; we have the same rights to live in peace in this world. Refugees are people, just like you. The difference is they have been forced to flee their homes.

This year, the International Day of Peace

conducted by SCORP CIMSA will focus on engaging and mobilizing people throughout social media to show support for Syrian refugees. It was established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, celebrated every September 21st, and declared to “commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and people.” Peace seeks to create a world free from violence and injustice as a lasting and sincere support

Inez Putri Pratiwi, S.Ked

SENIOR & ALUMNI Hello Kak Inez, Could you please tell us about your current activities?

Hello Nita, I just finished my Internship in Ciawi, Bogor.

Can you tell us about your reason of joining CIMSA, Kak? What is your first impression about CIMSA? At first, I knew CIMSA from BSO Expo at UGM, Faculty of Medicine. CIMSA looks very unique and stood out the most especially with the cool jacket.

Basically, CIMSA wa different from the others, CIMSA had spesific goals like the Standing Committees. The projects that was held by CIMSA is very varied and impactfull. So, I chose CIMSA to become a place for me to improved my soft skills and spend my time in a good way. Besides that, CIMSA taught me the meaning of friendship and loyalty. I found friends, even become family until now. We still communicate frequently even though the city is separated.

What encouraged you to be the LORP CIMSA UGM? Actually, I was motivated by Kak G a b y, L O R P C I M S A U G M before me. Seeing Kak Gaby who was very embracing, had many ideas and she was very good in managing each of SCORP CIMSA UGM’s project.

One time, I had an opportunity to be a project officer, that made me understand about human rights better. And so I fell in love more with SCORP. At last, I decided to become a LORP .

Do you mind sharing your motivation back then when you decided to be NORP? The motivation at that time was

Member SCORP CIMSA UGM 2011 LORP CIMSA UGM 2012 - 2013 NORP CIMSA Indonesia 2013 - 2014 Advisory Board SCORP CIMSA Indonesia 2014 - 2015 IFMSA Certified Trainer 2013 - present

by becoming a NORP, I would be able to challenge myself more because I knew the opportunity didn't come twice.

Then I started by asking NORP before and also attending international meetings. From this, I was more updated about human rights issues. And my other dream when I wanted to become NORP was to make members of SCORP and LORPs be active to improve nations’ health throughout their own project at SCORP. At that time, it was still the MDG’s era, so I wanted to make them to able to pour their ideas in the projects to achieve the goals of MDG’s.

Can you tell us your unforgattable experience as a NORP? Every moment was very unforgattable, including when I attended APRM, met NORP from all NMOs in Asia Pacific,

we were able to share with them and got more updates about health issues in other countries.

Other moments that were missed such as TOM national officials and TOM with NCORP. Could you tell us a bit how CIMSA affacted your life? Was there any memorable experience you can share with us?

There are lot of benefits from joining CIMSA, CIMSA has boosted my confidence, improved my public speaking and managing problem, Make me able to work with people from different backgrounds and also taught me everything I’ve never learned before. Through CIMSA, I understood about Universal Health Coverage and the issue of Human Rights and Peace. Other things that was learned such as leadership is also very useful, because when

CORNER you are an internship in a hospital or health center, you will do an activity that involves the patient or community, then how do you know that the activity has a good impact on your patient? At CIMSA we learn about SMART indicators, and that will really helps you later.

What are your plans for future, Kak? After the internship, I am looking for work experience, especially as a general practitioner, and then wish to pursue a master's degree or take a specialist degree

For all members, don't limit your knowledge about Human Rights and Peace here.

You can develop a lot and find out especially those that are related to the rights of patients in the medical field, human rights, the rights of doctors and our role in d i s a s t e r. K e e p moving forward, and Be Active with CIMSA!

Can you tell us about your reason of joining CIMSA, Kak? What is your first impression about CIMSA? In the past, when I saw CIMSA during the extracurricular exhibition, I thought that CIMSA had something different than the other. After that time, on December, CIMSA opened the recruitment for new members.

Actually, at that time, I didn’t think on joining any organizations. Until one time,

Agung Prabowo, S.Ked

Do you have something to say to the members of SCORP CIMSA?

Hello Kak Agung, Could you please tell us about your current activities?

Hello Nita, Now, I am in the middle of my co-assisstant program in Ophtalmology Department. Next month i will entered the Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) Department .

Member SCORP CIMSA Unsyiah 2014 - present LORP CIMSA Unsyiah 2014 – 2015 NORP CIMSA Indonesia 2015 - 2016 Advisory Board SCORP CIMSA Indonesia 2016 - 2017 SCORP Regional Assistant for Asia Pacific 2016 – 2017 IFMSA Certified Trainer 2014 - present

there was a senior called me. I was confused, because she knew my name! His name is Kak Wirianti. Kak Wiri offered me to join CIMSA and gave me the recruitment’s form. And you know, when I filled out the form, I actually didn't choose SCORP and even put them as my last choice, because I was very interested in one of the projects from another SCO at CIMSA UNSYIAH. After following the caderization series, it turned out that I was accepted as a member of SCORP. My interest in SCORP grew as I became the Project Officer for one of SCORP U N S Y I A H ’s p r o j e c t s . T h e project was held in the orphanages. I began to feel and think that CIMSA Projects were very fun, useful, and impactful. A simple act like teaching the children how to brush their teeth, it made them smiled very widely and happy.

What encouraged you to be the LORP CIMSA UNSYIAH? There were several reasons, but basically some people around me gave full supports. Many of them said, I was compatible to be LORP, and the other reason I was very excited with the projects that were at SCORP, i was very happy when doing projects with more childrens, seeing them laugh, it had its own happiness for me personally. And as long as i become a SCORP member all the projects that I follow are very useful, so I want to continue that. At that time, I thought, when I became a LORP I could more freely develop these p ro j e c t s , s o I d e c i d e d t o become a LORP.

SENIOR&ALUMNI CORNER | 31

STETOSCORP

SENIOR & ALUMNI CORNER Why did you want to become the NORP? There are so many things that I’ve got from CIMSA. One of many opportunities that made me fall in love with SCORP, was when I joined October Meeting i n Yo g y a k a r t a . I m e t SCORPIONS from all across Indonesia, very powerful and creative. At the same time, I was very proud with SCORP, who had collaboration projects with other NMOs. That what kept me learning more about SCORP. Until the end of my career as a LORP, I began to think about challenging myself to be NORP. Finally, with all considerations, on the very last day on national officials’ registration, I decided to ask permission from my parents. They were afraid that it’d interfere my academic studies, but in the end they gave me permission. It didn't stop there, there were some changes on the rundown of May Meeting. I had to do many candidature presentation via phone call at 2 AM because I was still on my way from Aceh to Solo. It was really unforgettable memories.

What are the benefits you got from CIMSA that really affect in your life, Kak? What is your most memorable moment in CIMSA? I got lots of experience from CIMSA, especially to develop soft skills, such as public speaking. Before that, I was a very insecure and quiet person, but I really felt that I changed to the better me, when I became LORP and then NORP. I became more open-minded and updated on human rights issues and understood more about disaster, what can we do as a

medical students. And another valuable experience was when you got the chance to meet and discuss with external parties and stakeholders from another organizations, such as the IBU foundation and BPBD. I learned a lot of new things through the discussion.

Can you tell us your stories when becoming the SCORP Regional Assisstant for Asia Pasific?

Applying for SCORP Regional Assistant was a very unique experience. Previously, I was used to work more relaxed and flexible at CIMSA. But, at IFMSA, everything was very serious. The first 2-3 months, I was still adapting on how to work at IFMSA. Like all communications were made online via limited distance, all tasks must be completed according to deadlines, and progress must always be on time. Although I have actually experienced these things as a NORP CIMSA, but at IFMSA it is demanded to be more professional. But it had become a very valuable experience, making me far more developed to this day. Then another thing that was very unforgettable when working with SCORP International Team and all NORP from Asia Pacific. I also got a better understanding on how to approach each of the NORP, with the different state of their country: such as in China, the use of social media is very limited, then in India, they have different human rights issues, sexual abuse, etc. Each country has special attention. And one of the unforgettable experiences was when leading

SCORP sessions in APRM Japan. Having experience working with SCORP-Director and meeting SCORP members from all NMO Asia Pacific, I can learn many things from them.

What are your plans for the future, Kak? My plan for the future is definitely to finish my coassistant program, then after that, I will do exchange to Germany and also want to apply for the APRM trainer.

Do you have any message and advice for SCORP CIMSA? For all CIMSA members, keep in mind that opportunities don't come twice. Whatever you can do right now, just do it, even though it's a simple thing.

Because whatever it is as long as it is positive, it will give a positive impact to others.

In addition, we as medical students are not only continuously about academics, on the other hand we must be open to health issues, one of them is the issue of human rights. Because we are not limited to treat patients, but we must understand the feelings of these patients, and understand the health rights of these patients. Finally, don't be afraid to try and dream, dream as crazy as possible, then you will realize that dream is an extraordinary thing.

STETOSCORP The women's rights movement, or feminism, is no longer an unknown subject. We hear about the feminist movement every day but never actually comprehend the heart of the matter. To fully support women's rights we need to understand the main idea that drives the movement.

The common misconception is that only women can be feminists as people assume feminism is a movement that hates men and aims to overthrow them, but this definition is as shallow as it can be. The actual aim of the women's rights movement is not for women to obtain equal wage or to dominate the society, but rather to eliminate every form of sexist oppression.

Sexism is the foundation of a patriarchal society. Almost all of our ideals and goals are heavily shaped by stereotypes based on sexism. Women are told to be feminine, described as sensitive and fragile, and expected to be stay at home moms instead of pursuing a degree. Men are told to be masculine, described as tough and dominant, and expected to be the breadwinner of the family. This type of sexism, one that influences the way we live, is called internalized sexism.

The problems faced by women are mainly caused by internalized sexism. An easy example is people think women are incapable of making decisions and

emotional; hence why women should never lead and be in higher positions at work.

We are completely unaware of this rotten value as the patriarchal society implants sexist thinking from our early years. It has become a culture. As a result, we formulate discriminatory laws against women, ignore gender gaps, strip women off their rights, and treat people based on their gender.

Feminism means women are free to express themselves, to choose and have control of their lives. If women are not able to make a decision on their own, still dominated by patriarchy, then they risk relinquishing rights in every aspect of their lives.

We have made enough progress in terms of gender equality. If we go back to the early 19th century, women were not yet allowed to vote and denied land ownership, but now there are women working as government officials. Therefore this should bring us enough hope to keep moving forward for a better society.

We must create a society that is free from sexist oppression and patriarchy. Yet women can't fight through the struggle alone. Men and everyone from every social background should aim to eliminate the domination of sexual oppression, and realize that feminism is not a movement exclusive for women, but feminism is for everybody.

S C O R P P R E PA R I N G D I S A S T E R M A N A G E M E N T RESPONSIVE TEAM

by SCORP CIMSA UNAND Hello CIMSA! We would like to introduce you one of SCORP CIMSA UNAND project named SPORADIST. SPORADIST is a Sustainable Project

by SCORP CIMSA UNAND with aim to learn about pre-disaster stage. Let’s check this one out!

Did you know that the disaster in 1982 - 2012 has caused 225,509 peple lost and died? The victims were caused by various types of disasters, with the highest number of casualties was earthquake and tsunami, which is 174.101 people. (BNPB, 2012) In Indonesia there are 28 region areas prone to earthquake and tsunami, and West Sumatra including one of them with score 86 disaster risk index (including high risk class of disaster) (Indonesia Disaster Risk Index (IRBI), 2013). In the last 9 years, West Sumatra was shaken 5 times by large earthquake with scale above 6 on the Richter scale and have took the lives of approximately 1584 casualties. (Data BPBD West Sumatra) The lack of awareness to prepare disaster which ensures the independence of mobilization of community resources for disaster preparedness is one of the reasons behind the weakness in emergency preparedness and emergency response on facing disaster independent and proactive. (National Plan for Disaster Management 2015 - 2019) Therefore, SCORP CIMSA UNAND promotes SPORADIST as a pre-disaster mitigation effort, focusing on disaster mitigation. By empowering and establishing the Disaster Management Responsive Team from SMPN 4 Padang as cadres that will share their knowledge on disaster mitigation to new cadres from SMPN 3 Padang which is soon to be formed. We hope this project can increase leadership on SMPN 4 Padang as a subject on this suspro. Thus, knowledge and preparedness of SMPN 3 Padang students in facing earthquake and tsunami increase, also on

preventing the high number of victims due to earthquake and tsunami, and minimize the possibility of refugee rights violation.

SPORADIST also supports The Vision of the 2015 2019 Disaster Management Policy that Makes a Tough Nation Dealing with Disaster, 13 points 13.1 SDGs that strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity against hazards related to climate and natural disasters in all countries, and CIMSA's Environtment Sustainability.

SPORADIST has done a Pre-Intervention and 4 times Intervention.

On Saturday, August 31st 2018, SCORP CIMSA UNAND has completed intervention 1. In this intervension, SCORP CIMSA UNAND members were given explanations by the instructor from BPBD West Sumatra and also explanation from the First Emergency Relief by Hippocrates Emergency Team (HET) BEM KM FK UNAND. The training aimed to make SCORP CIMSA UNAND members ready and steady to share their knowledge to the candidate of Disaster Management Responsive Team in SMPN 4 Padang.

In the 2nd intervention on September 8th 2018, the Cadres of Disaster Management Responsive Team was given a recalling subject about Disaster Mitigation and First Emergency Relief theories by SCORP CIMSA UNAND members. The explanation was given through discussions and quizes.

After recalling the subject that given last year, cadres from DMRT SMPN 4 Padang on the 3rd intervention act as steering committee where the next object for cadres is SMPN 3 Padang. At this intervention, cadres DMRT from SMPN 4 Padang showed their knowledge and skills to SMPN 3 Padang.

In the last intervention, we will begin with disaster mitigation explanation by DMRT SMPN 4 Padang, then there will be simulation of earthquake and tsunami, including following the tsunami’s evacuation route to the temporary evacuation site (Grand Zuri Hotel) guided by SPORADIST Team, SCORP CIMSA UNAND members, and school manager. The education from DMRT SMPN 4 Padang about mitigation is given to the classroom administrator. Based on the discussions with BPBD West Sumatra Province, administrators of the class should lead their friends in case of disaster, because they were the closest people to the students in class and always be in the classroom. So it is more effective compared with teachers who teach not only in one classrom.

SPORADIST Team also prepared with SPORADIST guideline containing explanation during SPORADIST in progress, it is expected to be used as a guide during the program implementation. Furthermore, there will be regular follow up on the SPORADIST team work program directly through the school.

Finally, SPORADIST closed with SPORADIST Team inauguration and keepsake for SMPN 4 Padang as a steering committee of this suspro and for the new cadres of DMRT in SMPN 3 Padang as an appreciation for the willingness to do the simulation, and help assisting SPORADIST's continuity. Hopefully SPORADIST Team will keep going on sharing more knowledge about disaster mitigation, so everbody in SMPN 4 Padang and SMPN 3 Padang will be pro-active and independent when disaster occurs.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

DIAMOND

This is the partial reality that happened in the Miyagi Prefecture in 2011, where the death rate of people with disabilities was a whopping 3,5% compared to the 0,8% death rate of the general population (UNESCAP). Here in Indonesia, the government has put forth a law for inclusive education regarding disaster management (UU No. 8 Tahun 2016 Pasal 20). In reality, it’s not quite applicable, and with the 2,175 disasters that happened in the year 2017 alone (Badan Penanggulan Bencana Nasional) the tragic event of Miyagi could happen here.

With that in mind, SCORP CIMSA UGM plans to execute a community development program termed DIAMOND: Disaster Management for Children with Disabilities. DIAMOND will be held for 2 years in which we will work together with teachers and students of SLB B Karnnamanohara, a school located in Sleman for deaf children aged 2 to 16 years old. In the 2 years of the program, our goal is for students as well as teachers to be able to master the knowledge of disaster management through inclusive education and continue to pass on the knowledge, as well as to generate an effective evacuation plan for the school in the chances of a disaster striking.

For our ďŹ rst step, SCORP CIMSA UGM paid a visit to the school on the 21st of September 2018.

There, we discussed our plans with the principal, who stated his concerns for the structural integrity of the school building that may put students in danger in the event of an earthquake, a natural disaster common in Yogyakarta. Afterwards, we were given a chance to meet the fourth graders, 9 cheerful children that were able to perfectly understand speech by observing the movements of mouth. With the help of gestures and limited speech, the children were eager to ask us questions, followed by delighted laughter with the realization of an understanding between us. With the help of the teachers, we asked students questions regarding their experiences on disasters as well as their opinion on learning disaster management. The rest of the day was spent as a gathering with the students, exchanging questions and jokes, showing that despite our differences, there really are no boundaries.
