inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Health Ministry tries to add more Hospital Education Organizing Center (RSPPU) networking to add more hospital based Specialist Doctor Education Program (PPDS) participants.

The Director General of Health Workers Arianti Anaya says that currently there are around 3,000 hospitals who showed interest to be linked to RSPPU.

“With many networks that we have, which will be organized by six main hospitals that we have appointed as RSPPU, we can add more participant quota (for PPDS),” says Arianti on Monday (8/12/2024).

Arianti explains the first quota for the first registration will only accept 52 students for six study programs, including cardiac and blood vessel disease, neurology, child health, and optic health. Then, there will be another 52 students for the next semester, bringing the total students to 104.

In ensuring the smooth effort, the Health Ministry is working together with the Education Fund Management Institution (LPDP) to provide living expenses for participants, the amount of which is distributed according to the levels.
