Ciputra University Holds Free Medical Treatment in Randegansari, Gresik

February 23, 2025

Surabaya (beritajatim.com) – The Faculty of Medicine (FK) and Faculty of Dentistry (FKG) of Ciputra University held a free mass medical treatment (Batsal) activity at the Randegansari Village Hall, Gresik, Sunday (23/2/2025).

This initiative was initiated by Dr. Denys Putra Alim, Sp.F.M., and Drg. Eveline Yulia Darmadi, Sp.KG, lecturers from the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at Ciputra University. This Batsal aims to improve access to healthcare services for the community, particularly in the lead-up to Ramadan.

This activity involves doctors from the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, alumni, and medical and dental students. Services provided include general health and dental examinations, medical consultations, and the provision of medications for minor ailments (oral, ophthalmic, and topical).

“Then, referrals to the hospital for cases requiring further treatment, and minor medical procedures, such as minor surgery, are performed on-site,” said Dr. Denys.

Batsal is expected to raise public awareness of the importance of disease prevention and oral health. For students, this activity provides an opportunity for early clinical exposure under the guidance of lecturers and alumni.

This activity, an annual event of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at Ciputra University, targets 80 residents of Randegansari Village. The three-month preparation process included field surveys, coordination, location mapping, and identification of endemic diseases to ensure drug availability.

One participant, Mrs. Wasi’ah (51), expressed satisfaction with the service she received. “I’m happy to be able to get checked and receive free medication. I have diabetes, and I received medication and instructions on fasting. I also had my eyes checked,” she said.

The Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at Ciputra University is committed to making Batsal a regular event to improve community welfare.[ipl/but]
