November was a big month for
AMSA-Indonesia. In this month, all AMSA-University delegates were gathered in
Semarang, Central Java, to attend “National Action Event 2017 LIPID-(Living
Perfectly in Healthy Diet)” hosted by Diponegoro University from November 24-26th
, 2017. NAE 2017 was consisted of health campaign, social project, debate
competition, EOTY 2018 opening ceremony and many other things. In this event,
AMSA-Unsyiah sent 7 delegates: 1 Representative (Alief Afrisiammy), 5 General
Delegates (Islah Nadila, Kemal Aulia, Riski April, Yusuf Muhammad Reza &
Ari Putra) and 1 APH (Intan Ch. Mulya). As the delegates, Intan would like to
share AMSA-Unsyiah’s
delegates’ experience through this post.
NAE
Lipid 2017 was begun on Friday, November 24th, 2017. The delegates
from AMSA-Unsyiah arrived in two batches, 3 persons in the morning and 4 others
in the evening. The registration opened before 3 pm in Diponegoro Univeristy,
Tembalang. To reach Undip, we had to spend approximately 30-45 minutes from the
airport by car. All the delegates should be dressed in pastel since the
registration till the welcoming party. In this interval of time, we were given
a lecture session by a nutritionist about metabolic syndrome and also a
presentation/evaluation managed by Academic Team AMSA-Indonesia.
Next
day was debate competition and health campaign day. As this year we didn’t send
debaters, all of us participated in the health campaign at Kampung Pelangi, a
very beautiful village/housing in town. There, we delivered the importance of
good lifestyle to control metabolic syndrome and did first screening by
checking their blood pressure in the community’s own house. We should say that
most of them have a very high blood pressure that time. One of our hopes is
that our approach will bring significant benefits in their lifestyle’s control
and disease/syndrome prevention. After lunch, all the delegates excluded debaters
were given some training in many aspects. Finally, the peak of event was held
on saturday night, and here it is….. Farewell Party. In this part of event, one
of our members, Intan Chaharunia Mulya, was inaugurated as an Ambassador of
Public Health District 1 2017/2018.
Sunday
was the last day of NAE 2017. We began the day by doing a social action
together with the professionals in Balai Kota Semarang. We gave free screening,
consultation and treatment for the society. The opening ceremony of EOTY 2018
was also held in the same place after social action. We aired the balloon and
flied them away. It was a big day for this tenure. We do hope that we can
always cooperate together in building a health society to Live perfectly
especially in healthy diet. See you in the next national event! More memorable
memories will be worth coming soon!
