Jayapura \u2014 Jayapura General Hospital (RSUD) is currently preparing to\nopen a hospital-based Specialist Medical Education Programme (PPDS) in\nobstetrics and gynaecology as an effort to accelerate the fulfilment of\nspecialist doctor positions across Papua.<\/p>\n
Hermanus Suhartono, Head of the Education Functional Unit at RSUD\nJayapura, stated in Jayapura on Friday that the need for specialist\ndoctors in Papua remains substantial, as several districts still lack\nsuch specialised personnel.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Papua Province alone, there are still four districts without\nspecialist doctors, and recruiting specialists will be our first\npriority,\u201d he said following a meeting with Papua Governor Mathius D\nFakhiri in Jayapura on Friday.<\/p>\n
According to Hermanus, the plan to open an obstetrics and gynaecology\nspecialist education programme\u2014the first of its kind at RSUD Jayapura\nbased at the hospital\u2014is much needed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the initial phase, the programme to be opened will be specialist\neducation in obstetrics and gynaecology,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He explained that subsequently, in the following period, specialist\neducation programmes in surgery, paediatrics, and internal medicine are\nplanned to follow.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor this reason, RSUD Jayapura is expected to become the primary\nteaching hospital in Papua Province, serving various healthcare\neducation centres, ranging from medicine to medical support personnel,\u201d\nhe said.<\/p>\n
He added that the target for the programme launch is April, with\npartner university Gadjah Mada University (UGM). The opening is also\nplanned to be conducted directly by the Governor together with the\nrecruited student participants.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope that the hospital-based education programme will also create\nopportunities for local residents to pursue specialist medical education\nwithout having to leave Papua,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jayapura-general-hospital-prepares-obstetrics-and-gynaecology-specialist-education-programme-1773413564", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
