The Faculty of Medicine at Trisakti University (FK Usakti) conducted an international community service initiative comprising health education and medical check-ups for students at the Sanggar Bimbingan (Learning Center) of the Indonesian Consulate General in Penang, as well as for Indonesian migrant workers in Penang, Malaysia. This activity reflects FK Usakti’s commitment to supporting the improvement of health standards for Indonesian citizens residing abroad.

The Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Trisakti (FK Usakti) collaborated with other faculties within the university, such as the Faculty of Dentistry, the Faculty of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Technology, the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, and the Faculty of Earth and Energy Technology. This international community service initiative involved 20 lecturers from various disciplines and 16 undergraduate medical students. The team conducted a series of activities—including health education, counseling, basic health screenings, and health promotion and prevention efforts—aimed at school-aged children from the Sanggar Bimbingan (Learning Center) of the Indonesian Consulate General in Penang and the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI). The participation of these lecturers and students supports the achievement of the university’s Key Performance Indicators, specifically by enabling lecturers to engage in off-campus activities and providing students with authentic learning experiences in applying medical knowledge within an international community setting.

The event was also attended by Dato Dr. Fazilah Binti Shaik Alludin, Director of Health for the State of Penang, demonstrating the local health authority’s support for health initiatives benefiting the Indonesian community in Malaysia, as well as for strengthening cross-border collaboration in public health.

On the same occasion, an Implementation Agreement for an International Community Service (PKM) program was signed by the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI) in Penang. The signing of this agreement marks a significant milestone in strengthening international cooperation, particularly in the fields of health and community service.

This partnership is expected to serve as a sustainable foundation for the implementation of various international community service programs by the Usakti Faculty of Medicine in Penang, as well as to strengthen synergy between the medical education institution and the Republic of Indonesia’s overseas representatives. Through this collaboration, the Usakti Faculty of Medicine continues its efforts to make a tangible contribution to improving the health of the Indonesian people on a global scale.
