Kaliurang (UII News) – Alhamdulillahirabbil 'Alamiin the FKUII team won two awards in the national level Medical competition (MedsCo) held by the Faculty of Medicine, Muhammadiyah University of Surakarta which was held on Monday, 16 November 2015 / 04 Shafar 1436 H ago.

This statement was conveyed by a delegation of FK UII students in early January 2016 after receiving and being awarded as the XNUMXst winner in Scientific Essay consisting of Mohamad Rahman Suhendri and Brian Surya Saputra and XNUMXnd winner in Scientific Poster by the team Helmi Zunan Tanuwijaya and Teguh Priambodo which had passed in

Rahman as one of the delegates explained that the theme being contested at the MedsCo event was Good Nutrition for Better Generation.

"From this theme, the paper we wrote was "Tempe as a Solution to Meet the Needs of Pregnant Women and Prevent it Malnutrition Energy Protein neonates," said Rahman

The FK UII student team assessed that the protein adequacy rate for pregnant women was still lacking, especially for families from low-income families, even though protein is a substance that is needed by the body for the development of body structures, especially during pregnancy.

 

Explained by the First Team, chaired by Rahman, explained that by consuming tempeh, pregnant women can meet their daily protein needs at a low price, prevent protein deficiency for the fetus, and increase Indonesia's economic productivity, especially for tempe producers.

 

While the title taken by the second team chaired by Helmi was "Utilization of KECUMI (Squid Ink Sauce) which is Rich in Protein to Prevent Protein Energy Deficiency Disease in Children".

They found that the protein contained in squid ink has two advantages, namely higher protein than soy sauce and a lower price, because squid ink is a waste that is usually not used.

“The work we do goes through a long process and encounters many obstacles, but we are optimistic that we can enter the top three. Alhamdulillah November 16, 2015 Allah answered our prayers and efforts, what we got came from Allah as a test for us, whether we are grateful people or kufr people, hopefully this achievement is not the end, but the beginning for further success, hopefully Allah protects us from hypocrisy and arrogance,” said Rahman.
