FPH UI Professor Attends Forum on China-ASEAN Cooperation in Public Health in China

Professor at the Faculty of Public Health (FPH) Universitas Indonesia (UI), Prof. Dr. Dr. Sabarinah Prasetyo, M.Sc., attended the Forum on China-ASEAN Cooperation in Public Health in China on 29-30 August 2023. Prof. Sabarinah was a delegate from Indonesia with dr. Retno Asti from the Faculty of Medicine (FK) UI and dr. Yodi Mahendradhata from the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing (FK-KMK) Gajah Mada University (UGM). The forum, which was attended by 47 representatives of partner institutions, discussed regional key health issues and science and technology cooperation between China-ASEAN in the field of public health.

The forum organized by the Peking University Health Science Center has two agendas, namely the main forum and sub-forum. There are 5 sub-forums with different topics include China-ASEAN Public Health Technology and Product Innovation and Transformation; China-ASEAN Infectious Diseases Prevention and Control Policy and Development Cooperation; Health Development of Women, Children, and Adolescents in China-ASEAN; China-ASEAN Environment and Health; and China-ASEAN Public Health System Building and Universal Health Coverage. In these forums, Prof. Sabarinah and two other delegates from Indonesia actively responded to presentations on different topics.

It is hoped that the Forum on China-ASEAN Cooperation in Public Health can improve the quality of public health in China and ASEAN countries. A similar forum will be held again with the aim of disseminating information and encouraging participants to develop research ideas and develop public health technology. (WR)
