I am in charge of health management, where health management has some sub-fields. I was in a sub-field that proceed in handling the medical waste. This job requires me to survey the areas to see how the medical waste is handled.

Since COVID-19 outbreak, a lot of medical stuff has been used causing the medical waste also increase drastically. The likes of disposable hazmat has been one of the main problem and this needs to be managed.

The most obvious thing is in terms of networking, I am currently working in the COVID-19 task force where there are many great people and about my past in CIMSA, I knew how to interact and also work with them. Including as simple as how to chit-chat, presentations, that is the most useful yet important thing that I got from my experiences in CIMSA.

When I was a newbie, in my eyes CIMSA was the most attractive among other organizations. Where I feel most suited to and can help me grow.

Suddenly, I saw the atmosphere and environment which I believed it can support me and trained my interpersonal skills.

Initially I did not decide to be a Local Coordinator CIMSA UIN 2014-2015, at that time I registered as a national FNMD. However, my heart at that time was more likely to be a Local Coordinator, therefore I decided to focus on running for LOCO because it had worked and the support of my friends. Alhamdulillah I was elected in that time.

I still really want to be active at CIMSA after I finished my periods as Local Coordinator CIMSA UIN. At that time there were many large translocal projects, I was happy because CIMSA's local network in Jakarta and its surroundings was very wide, and at that time YARSI was an observer CIMSA Regional 3.

9. Wow, how did you handle the communication between the locals, doc?

What is certain is that I created a communication group, since it was busy at that time, I obliged at least 1 period when I obliged to meet face-to-face and I always do a personal follow up.

There are so many opportunities available at CIMSA, it's a shame to miss every opportunity. Hold a bonding every period, try to stay overnight so that the members feel this is our home.
