UI (Universitas Indonesia) has a large scale School of Public Health consisted of Faculties ofPublic Health, Community Health, Hospital Administration, Environmental Health, Nutrition andOccupational Health. It educates more than 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students.
The Science festival aims at the Research that is facilitating the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). The Indonesian Government implemented the national health insurance system to achieve
Universal Health Coverage in SDGs from 2014 aiming at its completion in 2019. International
renowned guest speakers from Australia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan presented their research.
There were number of parallel symposia that covers SDG, Health Promotion, Emerging and Reemerging Infectious Disease, Non-Communicable Disease, Environmental Health, Health Crisisand Disaster, Mental Health, Urban and Rural Health and Inequity of Health Service.
Prof. Egawa lectured about disaster medicine and the concept of disaster risk reduction
according to the Sendai Framework, the change of medical needs in disaster and the analysis ofdisaster medicine using simulation software.
The Science festival encourages young scholars to present their ongoing research andpublications, together with performing arts within the campus. Students enjoyed singing, dancing
and playing instruments beside of hard working as administrative task forces.
Health is the fundamental human right that is the target of cluster approach. Health cluster shouldcollaborate with other clusters to protest human, animal and environmental health. Every session
emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration including Sendai Framework, SDGs
and climate change framework. The outreach from health cluster should be understandable andassertive with other clusters..
One of the most impressive lecture was about the mental health of people with HIV. People livingwith HIV has various mental health issues and perception of their health situation. Thus, theeffective infection control and prevention requires behavioral approach. Another lecturer who hasdisability himself, gave very important talk that we have to consider the issues of people withdisability as a matter of “us” instead of thinking as a matter of “them”. Sendai Framework for
Disaster Risk Reduction emphasizes the involvement of people with disability, women, children andyouth, indigenous people as stakeholders. To “Leave No One Behind”, we have to consider theDRR, SDGs and Climate Change as a matter of “us”. The mental health of people with disability isstrongly affected by the social discrimination, self-stigmatization and ignorance. We have to reconsider the disaster risk reduction for everybody as a matter of “us”.
The Science Festival UI attracts various scientists and students and has definitely bright future.
