Alhamdulillah, grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Visiting Professor and Academic Collaboration Programme at ITEKESMU KALBAR, Indonesia, held from 11โ13 May 2026.
The visit, represented by Asst. Prof. Dr Patimah Abdul Wahab, Assoc. Prof. Dr Hanida Hani Mohd Mokhtar, and Prof. Dr Azlina Daud, provided a meaningful platform to strengthen academic and clinical collaboration between institutions. The activities included academic collaboration discussions, guest lectures, postgraduate programme promotion for opportunities to pursue studies at IIUM, and visits to the teaching and learning facilities at ITEKESMU KALBAR.
We also had the opportunity to visit the wound clinic at PKU Muhammadiyah Kitamura and Klinik Kitamura, both impressively led by nurses, as well as PUSKESMAS, a community health clinic. These visits enriched our understanding of nurse-led clinical services, healthcare delivery, and potential areas for future research and clinical collaboration.
This collaboration reflects the importance of shared knowledge, professional networking, and continuous efforts to enhance nursing education, clinical practice, and research. May this small step grow into greater opportunities and bring benefit to both institutions, the nursing profession, and the wider community.
Thank you, ITEKESMU KALBAR, for the warm welcome and meaningful engagement.
