Dr. Wisnu also hopes that the graduates will help government programs in efforts to equalize health workers.
“So, one of the crucial problems that has not been resolved over the years regarding health workers is the distribution of health workers. Therefore, the government organizes activities to empower specialist doctors, which are currently not mandatory, not similar to before (PKPS) but are voluntary, but I think this is very significant if you can take part, for one year in places that have determined, helping improve health and also providing health services to the Indonesian people not only in Java but also outside Java,” said Wisnu.
At the end of his speech, Dr. Wisnu also advised to always maintain the good name of the alma mater and always be competent towards it
“I hope that after becoming alumni, you can maintain the good name of your alma mater because later if there is something or other, they will definitely be asked which graduate? I think we want to get positive things because of our achievements. And that would be very proud for UB. Don’t because there is something negative that I think will embarrass you and tarnish the good name of your alma mater. And we hope that you can work well, be competent and always bring good things to make our alma mater proud,” he said. (ron/UB PR/ Trans. Iir)
