As a health and medical institution, we are obliged to understand the wider community, especially regarding the latest health issues.
In the context of our Anniversary, we would like to thank all of our senior predecessors. They have struggled to establish and oversee the progress of FMUB to date. In particular, we would also like to thank all Alumni who have played a significant role in efforts to help advance our alma mater.
I would like to thank all the organizers and those who have helped organize this activity. Hopefully, this 48th Anniversary can be helpful in the FMUB academic community and the community.
Furthermore, the Chairperson of the FMUB Alumni Association, dr. Aries Budianto, Sp.B, said, “With the increasing age of FMUB, I am grateful that currently alumni have also spread throughout the country, and some have occupied prestigious positions.”
He explained that many of our alumni hold strategic positions in Government Agencies, TNI, Polri, and organizations outside the government. We are optimistic that the camaraderie among alumni will be stronger and have made the determination of the FMUB alumni management to make it happen, he hoped. (PR of FKUB)
