So in the future, Hiroshima University will work together to improve medical technology, develop human resources and digitize the medical field. Head of the R&D Institutional Cooperation Department Hermina Sri Mulyani also explained. “Initially it was initiated by the Ministry of Health. At that time, Hiroshima University conducted research on kidney failure in Indonesia. In Indonesia, hemodialysis patients incur the largest BPJS costs, and are included in the top 5 costs,” she said.
“We were given the opportunity together with one of the doctors from Hiroshima to conduct an analysis of the costs of Hemodialysis patients at Hermina Hospital and after that we were given recommendations on what follow-up actions needed to be taken to reduce costs and develop services in the future,” Head of the R&D Institutional Cooperation Department Hermina continued. She also explained. That one way is through a kidney transplant.
Because, according to Sri Mulyani, if a kidney transplant is carried out earlier, life expectancy will be longer, and can also save on health costs. Apart from that, cooperation is not limited to transplantation alone but also for other health services. “For example, orthopedics, pediatrics and all kinds, including oncology, but start prioritizing there first,” she said.
With this collaboration, Hermina Hospital hopes that this can be a new breakthrough and provide support to the government in every government program set, especially in the health sector.
