UI also cooperated with the Indonesian Heart Foundation to establish the Healthy Heart Club, which was inaugurated on Friday.

All of this took place during a seminar on healthy hearts opened by Rector Dr. Usman Chatib Warsa. Dr. Ronaly Rasmin from the Harapan Kita Cardiac Hospital was the keynote speaker.
