A breakthrough in the world of education was again made by Indo Global Mandiri University (IGM).

In the presence of the Governor of South Sumatra, H Herman Deru, Indo Global Mandiri University initiated a medical program for village children on Monday (14/4) in the 6th Floor Hall of the Faculty of Medicine, IGM University. The event was attended by various parties, including the Governor of South Sumatra, H Herman Deru, who also provided support for this positive step.

The Rector of IGM University, Dr. H Marzuki Alie, emphasized the importance of the existence of IGM University as a very valuable regional asset for the development of education and health in South Sumatra.

He revealed that since its establishment the IGM Foundation has realized various educational institutions which include kindergarten, SD Plus, LTI Junior High School, LTI High School, and Islamic boarding schools. According to him, IGM not only focuses on the development of formal education but also on the quality of religious education through boarding schools, which aims to produce a smart and noble generation. In addition, the existence of this institution has also involved lecturers and educators from various countries.

We have lecturers who have completed and are currently carrying out their studies from 18 countries, which shows our commitment to providing quality education with an international perspective, said Marzuki.

The Rector of IGM University also emphasized that this educational institution is non-profit, which means that all profits earned will be re-allocated to improve the quality of education, especially for children in the regions. One of the excellent programs socialized in this event is scholarships for children who excel but have economic limitations.

We are committed to providing scholarships to children in need so that they can enjoy the best education at IGM University, he added.

On the other hand, Marzuki also highlighted the importance of attention to the health sector, especially related to the shortage of medical personnel in the regions. He explained that the distribution of doctors in South Sumatra is very uneven, with some remote areas still lacking health workers. We also have a big role to play in producing young doctors who are ready to serve in areas in need, he said.

Through the medical program they run, IGM University hopes to produce medical personnel who are not only qualified but also care about the health conditions of people in remote villages. We hope that this program can be a solution to health problems in South Sumatra and provide opportunities for village children to achieve their dreams in the field of medicine, he concluded.
