LARKANA, Nov 30 (APP):The Directorate of ORIC, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University (SMBBMU), Larkana, successfully organized a visit and an interactive lecture on Public Health Management on Saturday by the Consul General of Republic of Indonesia.
The Consul General Mr Arie Poluzzi and his team visited the Arija campus of SMBBMU, where he delivered an insightful lecture on public health issues in Indonesia, focusing on effective management strategies and collaborative solutions.  He said both Indonesia and Pakistan have huge populations and most of their population is young.

He said they need a lot of doctors in Indonesia and Pakistan graduates should apply for jobs and also for post graduation. He visited the Institute of Pharmacy and Benazir College of Nursing and appreciated these educational opportunities being offered to students of rural areas.

The Vice Chancellor of SMBBMU, Prof Dr Nusrat Shah said applying for post graduation in Indonesia is a great opportunity for our medical graduates as they are offering 250 fully funded scholarships for Pakistani students. She emphasized students should focus more on South East Asian countries which are cheaper and more feasible options for postgraduate education compared to USA and UK. Prof Nusrat Shah highlighted the role of international collaboration in fostering research and academic programs. She expressed her gratitude to Mr Arie Poluzzi for visiting the university, sharing his expertise and fostering strong ties between Indonesia and SMBBMU in the field of health sciences.
