In his presentation, Prof. Anies emphasized that family-oriented doctors are aware of every stage of a disease’s progression and strive to improve the quality of life. He also emphasized a spiritual approach for patients and their families in preparing for the end of life to mitigate the negative impacts following the loss of a family member.

“A graduate of the Faculty of Medicine UNDIP, with a focus on family medicine, is not only able to diagnose and manage diseases lege artis, but is also aware of current clinical problems and capable of taking appropriate and adequate measures to optimize disease management,” he explained.

Meanwhile, dr.

“The Ministry of Health has a significant responsibility to achieve the targets set by the national health strategy, which include maternal and child health, improving community nutrition, disease prevention and control, the Healthy Living Community Movement (Germas), and strengthening the health system through health transformation,” concluded dr. Chodidjah. (LW-Public Relations)
