  • Increase Heart Health Awareness: Unikom Medical Center Holds Free Cholesterol Checkup

    Increase Heart Health Awareness: Unikom Medical Center Holds Free Cholesterol Checkup

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death in the world. One of the main risk factors for these diseases is high cholesterol levels. The good news is that public awareness of the importance of regular cholesterol checks is increasing. Checking cholesterol levels regularly is a positive step in the prevention of heart disease and stroke. With early detection and a healthy lifestyle, we can maintain heart health and live longer. For example, UNIKOM Medical Center routinely carries out a free health examination program every month for all UNIKOM academicians, lecturers, staff, and students.

    UNIKOM Medical Center conducted a cholesterol level check on Thursday, February 5, 2025. Cholesterol examination is a blood test to measure the total amount of fat substances (cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood. The blood check is useful for knowing whether someone has high cholesterol levels or not. Enthusiasm for today’s cholesterol check is quite high. Individual awareness, both from educators and students, of the importance of health is also high. However, the results showed that many participants had high cholesterol levels. Therefore, the medical team will continue to educate about the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.

    dr. Rafika Astarina, as the doctor in charge of the program, said that “Many patients who come have high cholesterol. So we try to check regularly because we see the dangers of high cholesterol. We detect early, prevent, and also if there is indeed a high one, we try to educate, and if necessary, we give medicine,” she said. This activity aims to increase the awareness of lecturers, staff, and students of the importance of health. In addition, this activity also aims to provide education about healthy lifestyles, especially diet and regular exercise.

    Furthermore, dr. Rafika advised “Hopefully with this cholesterol check program, the academic community or UNIKOM students can further improve a healthy lifestyle because everything returns to the lifestyle of each individual. Now indeed our food cannot be avoided, but we can choose which one is good and which one is healthy. For UNIKOM’s own steps, it is very good, because it facilitates directly, so it does not only care about education but also health, especially for its employees and students,” she concluded.
    It is expected that free cholesterol examination programs such as those organized by UNIKOM Medical Center can continue to be carried out regularly. Therefore, it is increasing public awareness, especially in the UNIKOM academic community, about the importance of regular health checks. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)

    Bandung City Government and LLDIKTI Region IV Launch a Waste Handling Program Involving 99 Universities: Unikom is One of the Driving Parents

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – The issue of waste has become a major problem that continues to threaten environmental sustainability in Bandung. In response, the Bandung City Government, in collaboration with Region IV of the Higher Education Service Institution (LLDIKTI), launched the Waste Management Program as a concrete effort to address this issue. The program, involving 99 private universities in Bandung, aims to make a significant contribution to waste management by prioritizing collaboration between academics, government, and the community.

    As part of this initiative, the Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) Bandung participated in this major mission. This program is a form of UNIKOM’s dedication to the community, in accordance with the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, which includes teaching, research, and community service. The program ran for a full month, starting in late 2024. 

    UNIKOM Bandung was given the responsibility to handle waste in an area located on Jalan Ir. H. Djuanda, specifically in RT 05 RW 09, Dago Village, Coblong District, Bandung City. This village has a fairly dense population, divided into 13 neighborhood groups, making it an area that presents significant challenges in waste management.

    Field Supervisor Lecturer, Assoc Prof. Dr. Hidayat S.Kom., M.T when interviewed said “I feel proud to be able to accompany UNIKOM students in the waste sorting socialization activity in Dago Village, Bandung City. This activity held by the Region IV of Higher Education Service Institution is a real proof of the students’ contribution in educating the community to support better and more sustainable waste management.” He said

    Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hidayat further stated, “The residents’ active participation in this activity demonstrates their concern for environmental cleanliness. I hope this program can continue and inspire students and the community to work together to create Bandung as a clean and environmentally friendly city.” He concluded. 

    UNIKOM Student Affairs Director Andreas Darmayadi, S.IP., M.Sc., Ph.D. when asked for information said “Alhamdulillah, the Bandung City Waste Management Group from UNIKOM was able to complete all the tasks and mandates from LLDIKTI Region IV. I really appreciate the performance of all Team Members and PIC Lecturers who consistently and enthusiastically help with waste management in neighborhood groups (RT/RW) around the Unikom Campus. We know that Bandung City is currently experiencing a waste emergency situation, hopefully with the contribution of the UNIKOM Waste Management Team, it can help raise public awareness to sort and manage waste properly and wisely.” he said

    The solutions and assistance provided by Unikom include: 1. Community training and education, ensuring all activities run according to plan and acting as a communicator between students and the Environmental Management Team (DPL). 2. Improved sorting facilities, divided into two categories: organic waste processed into compost, inorganic waste sorted and sold to recycling collectors, and residual waste made into crafts. 3. Awareness Campaign, with 80% of the public’s awareness of the importance of waste sorting significantly increasing. 4. Collaboration with Related Parties.

    This program is expected to encourage all elements of society to work together to create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment. Through this collaboration, UNIKOM and other universities in Bandung are committed to providing real solutions to the increasingly pressing waste problem. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
