Briefly describe the impact you expect your participation in this Master degree will have in your home country/region ?
Indonesia is undergoing major changes in healthcare. The government is implementing SATUSEHAT, a nationwide digital health system, and improving referral services across over 3,000 hospitals. At the same time, about 90% of medical devices are still imported. Hospitals often struggle with maintenance, local training, and adapting technology to local needs. From my experience in hospital projects and public health research, I know that having technology alone does not solve these problems.
With the skills I gain from this programme, I want to help address these gaps. I will learn how to design medical devices and digital health systems that are easier to maintain, more practical, and better adapted to local hospitals. I will also learn to make sure projects are sustainable and scalable. I hope to contribute to digital health projects and medical technologies that fit the real conditions of hospitals and communities in Indonesia, reducing dependence on imports and improving healthcare outcomes.
In the long term, my goal is to bridge the gap between Indonesian startups and our public hospital system, ensuring that 'innovation' doesn't just mean buying new equipment, but actually making it work for patients in Indonesia.
