Universitas Esa Unggul Collaborates with LKC Dompet Dhuafa Jakarta in Providing Health Data Management Assistance for Marginalized Communities
Esaunggul.ac.id, Universitas Esa Unggul (UEU) has once again demonstrated its commitment to improving the quality of public health through its Community Service Program (PKM). This time, UEU collaborated with Dompet Dhuafa Jakarta’s Free Health Services (LKC) in an activity entitled “Health Data Management Assistance for Marginalized Communities” which was carried out in the Dompet Dhuafa Jakarta assistance area.
This program aims to strengthen digital-based health data management as a strategic step in early detection and accelerated handling of health issues among marginalized communities. The Universitas Esa Unggul community service team consists of Laras Sitoayu, S.Gz., M.K.M., Nanda Aula Rumana, S.K.M., M.K.M., Dr. Edi Hamdi, S.T., M.Sc., and Ir. Lutfi Fanani, S.Kom., M.T., M.Sc., who presented a multi-professional approach involving the fields of Nutrition, Medical Records, Information Technology, and Economics.
Training on Dompet Dhuafa
This activity includes education, in-house training, and evidence-based data management training for LKC Dompet Dhuafa administrators and volunteers. In addition, the UEU team also assists in the creation of a Health Information System (SIK) specifically for marginalized communities and the digital and systematic organization of health documents. Through a feasibility study with cost-benefit analysis, this activity also ensures the sustainability and efficiency of the program being implemented.
The results of this program not only improve the partners’ capabilities in health data management but also produce a number of academic outputs for Universitas Esa Unggul, such as scientific publications, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), learning modules, articles in the mass media, documentary videos, and patent drafts.
The Rector of Universitas Esa Unggul, Dr. Arief Kusuma, SE., M.B.A., expressed his high appreciation for this collaboration as a tangible form of synergy between the world of education and social institutions in strengthening inclusive health services.
“Universitas Esa Unggul is always committed to delivering innovations that have a direct impact on society. This collaboration is an important step in strengthening the health information system for marginalized groups, as well as a tangible manifestation of the contribution of higher education institutions to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly point 3 on Good Health and Well-being,” said Dr. Arief Kusuma.
He also added that this activity reflects the campus’ spirit in integrating technology, data, and social awareness to provide sustainable health solutions.
“We believe that by strengthening digital-based health data management capabilities, we can improve service accuracy, accelerate early disease detection, and create a more resilient health system for disadvantaged communities,” he added.
Through collaboration with Dompet Dhuafa, Universitas Esa Unggul reaffirms its role as a globally competitive university that not only focuses on academic education but also actively contributes to social development and public health in Indonesia.
