General Hospital Talking about the Implementation of Medical Education, Research and Community Service at Prof. Ngoerah General Hospital as the Main Teaching Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine, Unud, Monday (21/10/2024).

Rector of Unud Prof. Ir. I Ketut Sudarsana, ST., Ph.D in his speech said that this collaboration would strengthen the synergy between universities and hospitals in providing quality education and health services, as well as encouraging innovation in the field of health research. Udayana University, as a university that has a big responsibility in implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, namely education, research and community service, is committed to continuing to improve the quality of education for doctors and health workers through various collaborative programs. 

As part of the agreement, both parties have their respective rights and obligations. Udayana University, in this case, has the right to organize and send students, assess academic performance, and support research carried out at the hospital. Meanwhile, Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G. Ngoerah General Hospital has the right to accept or reject students according to capacity, provide research support, and ensure the implementation of activities in accordance with applicable standards.

Apart from that, this agreement also regulates various joint responsibilities such as managing educational infrastructure, quality monitoring and controlling service quality. We are committed to maintaining the high quality of education and health services, as well as ensuring that all research activities carried out comply with scientific and ethical principles. This collaboration is a strategic step in realizing a joint commitment to improve the quality of health, education and research services in Indonesia, especially in Bali. 

"We hope that, through this cooperation agreement, we can further improve the quality and competitiveness of graduates from the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, and together provide better health services to the community. Hopefully this collaboration will not only bring benefits to students and staff medical, but also a real contribution in our efforts to improve the health status of the Balinese people," said the Rector.

Meanwhile, Director of Prof. I G.N.G. General Hospital Dr. I Wayan Sudana, M.Kes in his speech said that this meeting was very important because it would be our agreement to be able to support the educational process at Prof. Ngoerah Hospital.

There is a direction from the Minister of Health through the Director General of Health Services regarding the implementation of specialist medical education programs in all vertical hospitals of the Ministry of Health where hospitals that provide education collaborate with universities in their respective regions to make cooperation agreements with the Faculty of Medicine which include, in particular commitments to prevent bullying, compliance with work culture and working hours, financing of specialist education costs, resident work contracts with the Managing Director as well as involvement of teaching hospitals in determining the quota of students to be accepted according to the hospital's capacity or capacity. This is to ensure that the education process goes well and education for PPDS runs smoothly.

"We also want this PKS to truly accommodate our shared responsibilities as the main teaching hospital and of course also Udayana University as an institution providing higher education," said the Managing Director.

The aim of this PKS is to be used as a reference in implementing rights and obligations where there are changes emphasized by the Ministry of Health which must be implemented by Prof. Ngoerah Hospital.
