Medicine (UII News) – Medicine establishes communication in the field of health education by exploring collaboration with the University of Lagos (UNILAG) Nigeria to introduce the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Islam Indonesia (FK UII) on the international stage and facing re-accreditation in 2017.

This was explained by the Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Islam Indonesia (FK UII), dr. Syaefudin Ali Akhmad, M.Sc while representing UII conducted an assessment of cooperation at Logos University Nigeria (UNILAG) on Thursday, 16 Shawwal 1437 H / 21 July 2016.

 

The choice of UNILAG to be explored as a place for cooperation in the field of health education, explained by doctor Udin, that UNILAG Nigeria is a university that is in the top 3 best universities in Negeria in the webometric version of the university ranking.

 

"The advantage of UNILAG is that all education is conducted in English, this is because African countries are included in the English Speaking Country category even though their dialects are very distinctive, such as Hausa and Ghuroba and Ibo," said doctor Udin.

 

Doctor Udin further said that this assessment was something miraculous because it was not planned well beforehand, considering that the initial plan was only to open cooperation with several FIMA delegates from the Middle East, Africa, and partners who were indeed present at the FIMA Conference.

"This collaborative activity was outside of the plan, if we trace the events, this happened because of the grace given by Allah SWT who had brought him together with the FIMA Conference committee from Nigeria who is a lecturer at a top university named DR. Ibrahim obabo, Sp.An. from Nigeria, it was on his recommendation that he was an activist in Islamic medicine so he was willing to help open a partnership with UNILAG and FK UII," said doctor Udin.

 

 Doctor Udin added that his visit to UNILAG Nigeria was in the context of facing the re-accreditation of the UII Faculty of Medicine in 2017 and the opening of a new study program equivalent to a Primary Service Doctor (DLP) specialist, for this reason FK UII needs to improve and develop itself with foreign institutions that equal or better quality, he said.

As the message from the Dean of FK UII when leaving his departure, his trip to Nigeria was only to try to open talks with various delegates for international publications and exchange papers for their respective journals, said doctor Udin. Wibowo/Tri
