PRECISE
(Protecting Refugees during COVID-19 Pandemic SCORP CIMSA UNAIR)
SCORP CIMSA UNAIR
IDoP (International Day of Peace) is one of the many activities held by the Center for Indonesian Medical Students' Activities (CIMSA) UNAIR. This activity was held by Standing Committee on Human Rights and Peace (SCORP). IDoP 2021 was held virtually under the name PRECISE (Protecting Refugees during COVID-19 Pandemic) in the form of a public discussion which was held on 25th September 2021. The implementation of PRECISE is included in the scope of SCORP's work, namely Refugees Health and Rights to Health. In addition, this is a form of our efforts to clarify the position and role of CIMSA as an Indonesian medical student organization in supporting the achievement of the SDGs.
The public discussion covered a rarely discussed topic, namely “Why and What Should We Know About the Health Rights Protection of Refugees during COVID-19 Pandemic?”. This time we invited 5 great speakers from various representatives of government organizations and institutions, namely Yanto Ardianto, ST., MM.Kom. as head of Rudenim Pekanbaru, Yanuar, SH. as Head of Registration, Administration, and Reporting Section Rudenim Pekanbaru, Redi Restuanto,SH. as Head of Health and Care Division Rudenim Pekanbaru, Roberto, SH. as Protection Associate, UNHCR Indonesia, and Atika Yuanita, SH., MH. as Coordinator of Legal Aid Division Suaka, guided by Kartika Nurrosyida, IFMSA Certified Human Rights Trainer SCORP as moderator.
The implementation of PRECISE is aimed at training and increasing knowledge and awareness of the importance of paying attention and protecting the health rights of refugees, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This public discussion was open to the public and was attended by CIMSA UNAIR members by filling out the RSVP provided by the committee.
Through PRECISE, the committee got many interesting experiences such as being able to coordinate with each other between divisional members and across divisions so that they get to know each other better, discuss with each other in designing this event, have the opportunity to be able to discuss with great speakers, and many others.
IDoP went quite smoothly due to good coordination from the committee. It is hoped that the experiences from IDoP can be used as experiences in IDoP in the following years as well as at CIMSA UNAIR events so that they can increase the success of the event.
Hopefully, our event will be useful and inspire many people. Happy International Day of Peace!
