Dear beloved IFMSA friends,
It is a pleasure and honor for us to be the host of Asia Pacific Regional Meeting 2013. It has been our dream, NMO Indonesia, to be part of IFMSA’’s development in Asia Pacific which has been growing year by year.
Indonesia has been supporting MDGs since year 2000. Many roles, policies, and actions are done to complete every target of MDGs. Specifically in medical field, some ac-tions have been done such as implementing a comprehensive approach to achieve pro-poor growth, improving public health services, improving access to reproductive health and family planning services, improving coordination among stakeholders while improving allocation of resources, and empowering all people in Indonesia. Unfortunately, some goals are still quite far from the targets. The progress moves too slow and it also happen in other Asia Pacific countries. Through APRM 2013, with the theme of “Health A Forgotten Wealth? Universal Health Coverage for Healthy and Sustainable Development” we will tell the world that Med-ical Students are not ordinary students; in contrary, we can gather, discuss, and create a solution to problems that happen in our NMO regarding the achievement of MDGs targets.
We also believe that everyone attending this meeting will not forget the memories in Yogyakarta with its beauty and historical places. Cultural, unique, and incredible things are waiting for you here. Feel the spirit, love, and the APRM atmosphere with us! Enjoy Yogyakarta!
Warmest Regards, Amandha Boy Timor R, MD. & Dian Oktavia Giriningrum, MD

Dear IFMSA Asia-Pacific family,
On behalf of NMO Indonesia, I would like to extend my pleasure to invite you to Indonesia. It’ is a great honour for us, NMO Indonesia, to host IFMSA Asia-Pacific Regional Meeting (APRM) 2013 which is organized by Center for Indonesian Medical Students’ Activities (CIMSA) in Yogyakarta-Indonesia. These four days of APRM meeting, September 5th to 8th, 2013, hopefully can become another unforgettable legendary moment in IFMSA history.
With the theme of “Health A Forgotten Wealth? Universal Health Coverage for Healthy and Sustain-able Development”, it is our aim to gather all medical students in Asia-Pacific or beyond, to take some time discussing the world’s today concern. The Millennium Summit in September 2000, the largest gathering of world’s leaders in history, adopted the UN Millennium Declaration and committed their nations to a new global partnership to reduce extreme poverty and to set out a series of time-bound targets with deadline of 2015, that has become well-known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
In recent years, the Asia-Pacific region, along with the rest of the world, has been assailed by a series of global crises, all of which have presented threats to the development and achievement of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Given the analysis and evaluation towards the MDGs prog-ress until today, the world is now focusing on how the development framework after year 2015 may help to solve the problems we are facing, especially in health sector. One of the considerations is that health system indicator must be made, in this context, the attainment of Universal Health Coverage. Moreover, it is recognized that health is the precondition and indicator of all dimentions of sustainable development. Hopefully, by providing the place where medical students in Asia-Pacific can meet up, discuss, and share the knowledge, APRM 2013 can be the momentum of a change-making, to be applied in the future. I would like to thank the Organizing Committees, IFMSA Asia-Pacific team and other people who get involved for all the effort, spirit and hard work to make this meeting a successful one.
It has been our pleasure to meet and serve you in Indonesia, to learn, share, grow and broaden up our knowledge together. I hope, through this APRM, we can get benefits and learn many things across the countries for us to bring back all the knowledge and experiences to our beloved home country.
Hope to see you soon in Indonesia!
Regards,
Asri Kartika PutriNMO President of Indonesia 2012-2013

letter from regional coordinator
Warmest greetings to all my fellow medical students in Asia-Pacific!
It is my pleasure to extend my warmest welcome to every medical students from the Asia-Pacific region, to attend the upcoming Asia-Pacific Regional Meeting of the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA), held at Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
The Millennium Development Goals were developed by 189 world leaders in 2000 to improve the lives of the disadvantaged to combat poverty, hunger, disease, illiteracy, environmental degradation and discrimination against women, to make this world a better living planet. The goals provide a roadmap for development, and three goals are directly related to health while three others are indirectly related to health. The leaders recognized that a healthy community is the most essential part in development. They are committed to bring down the child and maternal mortality; to reduce the incidence of HIV/AIDS, tu-berculosis and malaria; and of course to improve the hygiene of the living environment for healthy living. The 2015 deadline for MDGs is approaching soon. Some countries in our region are making a remarkable progress while some are still lacking far behind. There are still much to be done beyond 2015 to achieve the goal of “Health for All”. Some countries are still struggling even to provide basic maternal and child healthcare services to their population. These are largely attributed to weak health systems, poor health-care financing system, health inequities and etc. In addition, the rising of non-communicable diseases, climate change, international trade agreement, economy crisis, changes in population growth rates are impeding many countries from achieving these targeted development goals. In order to achieve the dream of “healthy planet” we need to find solutions to address all these challenges and implement them in our post-2015 development agendas. The World Health Organization is suggesting Universal Health Coverage (UHC) as a key to sustain progress for all MDGs and can be used to address the health concerns above in the post-2015 sustainable development agenda.
As the future physicians, we need to be at the front in driving the global development agenda, especially those related to healthcare. Through the trainings in our APRM this year, I hope that our medi-cal students will acquire a deeper understanding on MDGs progress in our region, and learn more about healthy and sustainable development through Universal Health Coverage. We also hope to provide a plat-form for our future doctors to share their opinions on health roles in post-2015 sustainable development agenda.
This year’s APRM hopes to deepen our enthusiasm and passion for global health among our medical students in the region. For four days, we will explore these issues and together find our place in this chal-lenging world. I hereby extend my heartiest congratulation to CIMSA-ISMKI Indonesia for this remarkable achievement and I join them in welcoming our medical students from all over Asia-Pacific to the APRM 2013.
See you in Yogyakarta soon! Don’t miss this great opportunity to be in the biggest gathering of Asia-Pacific medical students in 2013!
Sincerely,
Dr. Vincent Khor Wei Sheng,Regional Coordinator for Asia-Pacific 2012-2013

Yogyakarta,Indonesia
Yogyakarta,Indonesia
The Republic of Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago comprising 17,504 large and small tropical islands fringed with white san-dy beaches, many still uninhabited and a number even still unnamed. Straddling the equator, located between the continents of Asia and Australia and between the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, it is as wide as the United States from San Francisco to New York, equaling the distance between London to Moscow. Indonesia has a total population of more than 215 million people from more than 200 ethnic groups. The national language is Bahasa In-donesia.
Among the most well known islands are Su-matra, Java, Bali, Kalimantan (formerly Borneo), Sulawesi (formerly Celebes), the Maluku Islands (or better known as Moluccas, the original Spice Islands) and Papua. Then, there is Bali “the world’s best island resort” with its enchanting culture, beach
es, dynamic dances and music. But Indonesia stillhas many unexplored islands with grand mountain views, green rainforests to trek through, rolling waves to surf and deep blue pristine seas to dive in where one can swim with dugongs, dolphins and large mantarays.
Her wildlife ranges from the prehistoric gi-ant Komodo lizard, Orang Utan, Java rhino, Su-lawesi anoa dwarf buffaloes, to birds with exquisite plumage like the cockatoo and the bird of paradise. This is also the habitat of the Rafflesia “the world’s largest flower”, wild orchids, an amazing variety of spices, and aromatic hardwood and a large variety of fruit trees. Underwater, scientists have found in North Sulawesi the prehistoric coelacanth fish, a “liv-ing fossil” fish, predating the dinosaurs living some 400 million years ago, while whales migrate yearly through these waters from the South Pole. Here are hundreds of species of colourful coral and tropical fish to admire.

Culturally, Indonesia fascinates with her rich diversity of ancient temples, music, ranging from the traditional to modern pop, dances, rituals and ways of life, changing from island to island, from region to region. Yet everywhere the visitor feels welcomed with that warm, gracious innate friend-liness of the Indonesian people that is not easily forgotten.
Facilities-wise Indonesia’s hotels are second to none. In fact, many of our luxurious and unique hotels have constantly been listed as some of the best in the world, located on white sandy beach-es, overlooking green river valleys, or situated in the heart of busy capital Jakarta. While Indonesia’s metropolitan cities like Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, Yogyakarta or Makassar are a hive of activities for business and leisure and a paradise for shoppers, offering upscale boutiques selling top brand names, to local goods at road-side stalls. Here gourmets can treat themselves to the many regions’ delecta-
ble spicy cuisine or dine sumptuously at internation-al restaurants. And for sheer relaxation, Indonesia Spas are second to none to reinvigorate both body and mind.
Convention centers are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, as many top international con-ferences and exhibitions are held in Jakarta, Bali to Manado, ranging from the Global Climate Change Conference in Bali to the World Ocean Conference in Manado , to trade and investment exhibitions and tourism trade shows in many provincial capital cities.

Yogyakarta,Indonesia
Yogyakarta is the cradle of civili-zation on Java. This city was the seat of power that produced the magnificent temples of Borobudur and Prambanan in the 8th and 9th century and the new powerful Mataram kingdom of the 16th and 17th century. Until today, this city continues to produce philosophers, thinkers, master painters and master craftsmen.
Overshadowed in the north by the smolder-ing Mt Merapi volcano and bordered in the south by the pounding Indian Ocean, the graceful old city of Yogya has a mild climate making it easy for visitors to plan activities without worrying about intense heat. The beautiful green landscape of this central part of Java makes merely traveling from one des-tination to another an unfogrettable experience.
Although being the elder in tradition and history, Yogyakarta, lovingly known as Yogya, re-mains young. Yogyakarta is known as education city, where students from all over Indonesia from different ethnic backgrounds flock to pursue knowl-edge and wisdom. For this reason, Yogya is both very Javanese and at the same time a melting pot of different Indonesian cultures. Yogya is also well known for its leather and wooden puppets crafts used for traditional shadow-puppet performances, as well as wooden puppet performances (Wayang Golek) that are used to act out ancient epics which contain popular but deep philosophical thoughts and teachings.
Yogyakarta is known as Neverending Asia for its endless attractions and appeal. As one of Indonesia’s 32 provinces, this city is one of the fore
most cultural centers in Indonesia. From climbing the magnificent Borobudur temple, visiting the Keraton -the Sultan’s Palace-, watching silversmiths produce amazing jewelry at Kotagede, to shopping at Ma-lioboro road, you’ll never get bored in this bustling enchanting city. Although it’s a busy cultural hub, Yogya has slower pace and is more relaxed than other cities in Indonesia.
Yogya is the center of Javanese arts from the refined court dances to modern arts in painting and performing art. Yogya is famous as a centre of traditional textile production, particularly Batik. The distinctive Batik of Yogya uses the basic colors of brown, indigo and white with geometric designs. Described as a shopper’s paradise, Yogya is the place where you can buy anything from traditional handicrafts to exotic Batik prints. The Beringharjo market is Yogya’s central market, with a collection of goods and wares quite unlike anywhere else. Yogya has a good reputation for its silver and gold accesories. A visit to Yogya would not be complete without experiencing Malioboro street. Rows of out-lets sell all kinds of souvenirs. If you want to test your bargaining skills you can try haggling with the street vendors. Remember that all’ is fair in love and shopping.
Throughout Java and Indonesia, Yogya is known for its authentic but reasonably priced In-donesian cuisine. Food from this region is relative-ly light and sweet. While you are here, take the chance to sample many of the regional delicacies that are unique to this area. From bakpia, wingko babat, to enting-enting, visitors will be delighted to find so many delicious options.

Health A Forgotten Wealth? Universal Health Coverage for Healthy and
Sustainable Development According to the UN MDG report, countries in Asia-Pacific region are on track and are making remarkable progress towards achieving the health-related MDGs. Child and maternal mortalities have declined at unprecedented rates in many countries, and demonstrable prog-ress has been made against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. At the same time, much needs to be done beyond 2015 to sustain the gains that have been made to date and to ensure more equitable levels of achievement across countries, populations, and programs. There are 2 years left before the 2015 deadline. Some countries have achieved their goals, while others have much work to do to reach the targets. Weak health systems, health inequities and difficulties in sustaining gains are some of the factors that will affect in achieving the MDGs. The changing agendas for global health due to the rising of non-communicable diseases, climate change, changes in population growth rates or distribution of people can have significant societal and economic impact. They are impeding many countries from achieving the targeted development goals.
Health is widely recognized as invaluable wealth. Development brings wealth to the people and HEALTH is hence central to development. It is a precondition for, as well as an indicator and an outcome of progress in sustainable development. Debates are ongoing in the International level on how we can position health in the post-2015 development agenda. The World Health Organization is suggesting Universal Health Coverage (UHC) as a key to sus-taining progress for all MDGs and can be used to address the health concerns above in the post-2015 sustainable development agenda.
Medical students from the ever-rapidly growing Asia-Pacific region will be gathering in Yogyakarta to attend the IFMSA Asia-Pacific Regional Meeting 2013. The medical students will join this important landmark period, to have deeper understanding on MDGs progress in our region through series of seminars, workshops, and forum. Through this Regional Meeting, we hope medical students can learn more about healthy and sustainable development through Uni-versal Health Coverage. It is important to medical student to know the present condition and the obstacle about the Health system in our region. We also hope to provide a platform for our future doctors to share their opinions on health roles in post-2015 sustainable development agenda.

Person in-charge who will take the responsibility to give the documents to the embassy and send back to the delegates. The OC really suggest that this person-in charge is IFMSA friend (if there is IFMSA NMO). The OC will register their name for this responsibility.
The OCs are trying our best to keep the communication with the delegates, Embassy of Indonesia, and person in-charge for this issue.
