The Student Executive Board (BEM) of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKes) of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has once again shown its concern for the community. Through the Strengthening the Capacity of Student Organizations (PPKO) Program, BEM FIKes UNISA succeeded in empowering cadre mothers and toddlers in Sendangagung Village, Minggir, Sleman by forming a business team “CESTU DENAWA”.
PMT Innovation
Supplementary Food Processing (PMT) is one of the difficult programs, but the presence of PPKO students is very helpful in innovating PMT which will be distributed to posyandu.
For approximately 7 meetings, students have provided counseling, nutritious PMT training, and direct PMT distribution. This activity not only increases the knowledge of cadres, but also encourages the creation of PMT innovations that are more attractive and liked by children.
“We are very happy to be able to contribute to stunting prevention efforts in Sendangagung Village,” said Emilia Dani Safitri, team leader of PPK Ormawa BEM FIKes UNISA.
“Hopefully, the ‘CESTU DENAWA’ business team can run successfully and have a positive impact on the community,” she continued.
With the establishment of the “CESTU DENAWA” business, it is expected to increase the availability of quality PMT in the village, so as to significantly reduce the stunting rate. In addition, this business also opens up new economic opportunities for the local community.
“We want to ensure that the innovations we create have a sustainable impact. Therefore, we involve the village community in the management of this business,” said Wantonoro, PPKO lecturer.

Three students of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, namely Lukmanul Hakim, Feerousah Muzakka Abdillah, and Bani Iksan, became delegates at the international Ahmad Dahlan International Youth Camp (ADIYC) 2024. The three students from the Physiotherapy and Midwifery study programs were selected as representatives of UNISA Yogyakarta in the prestigious event held at Dewi Tinala Camping Ground, Kulonprogo, on October 3-5.
International Event
For three full days, participants from various countries discussed and exchanged ideas on global issues facing the younger generation. The three UNISA students not only actively participated in the discussions, but also managed to establish relationships with participants from other countries.
“The experience of participating in ADIYC was very valuable,” said Bani Iksan. “I made many new friends and gained great insight into global issues. This will be very useful for me in developing myself,” he added.
Similar to Bani, Lukmanul Hakim also felt challenged by the discussions that took place.
“This event opened my eyes to the importance of intergenerational dialog to find solutions to complex problems,” she said.
Feerousah Muzakka Abdillah hopes that UNISA Yogyakarta can organize similar events more often.
“I hope UNISA can facilitate more activities that involve students in intergenerational discussions, both on a local and international scale,” she said.
Head of the Bureau of Student Affairs and Alumni (BKA) of UNISA Yogyakarta, Yekti Satriyandari, expressed her pride for the achievements of the three students.
“Their success proves that UNISA students have extraordinary potential and are able to compete at the international level,” she said.

The community service team from Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta is once again innovating to improve the quality of life of Indonesian children. This time, their focus is on stimulating the optimal growth and development of toddlers through baby massage education.
Baby Massage
More than just a tradition, infant massage is now backed by scientific evidence as an effective way to stimulate a baby’s physical, cognitive and emotional development. The gentle touch during infant massage not only provides comfort, but also triggers the production of the hormone oxytocin which plays an important role in the formation of the bond between mother and baby.
Benefits:
Physical growth: Increases weight and height, especially in infants with slow growth.
Cognitive development : Stimulates brain and nervous system development.
Emotional development : Increases sense of security, reduces stress, and improves sleep.
Physical health : Aids digestion, breathing, and blood circulation.
Comprehensive Education:
UNISA Yogyakarta’s community service team, led by Enny Fitriahadi, S.Si.T., M.Kes and Esitra Herfanda, SST., M.Keb, not only provided theoretical education, but also hands-on demonstrations of proper baby massage techniques. This activity is carried out intensively at posyandu and residents’ homes to ensure wide coverage.
Collaboration with Posyandu Cadres:
The involvement of posyandu cadres is key to the success of this program. They are not only participants, but also active partners in accompanying the mothers while doing it at home. This collaboration is expected to create a snowball effect, where knowledge about baby massage can continue to spread in the community.
The community’s enthusiasm for this program is very high. The mothers felt helped by the baby massage education. They feel the benefits directly, both for the baby and for themselves.
Universitas `Aisyiyah Yogyakarta gave full support to this community service activity. This shows UNISA’s commitment in making a real contribution to the community, especially in the field of maternal and child health.
It is not just a tradition, but a long-term investment for the child’s future. With support from various parties, including academics, health practitioners, and the community, it is hoped that the baby massage education program can continue to grow and provide wider benefits for the nation’s future generation.

The 2024 Ta`aruf Period (MATAF) of Universitas `Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta is not only an introductory event for new students, but also a momentum for the growth of social awareness. Thanks to the collaboration of the MATAF committee and LAZISMU UNISA, a donation of Rp35,349,338 was successfully collected through the Infaq QRIS Most program.
Donation
The funds collected were then distributed in the form of scholarships to 30 new students and 22 students assisted by UNISA Yogyakarta. The scholarships were handed over on Saturday (12/10) at Walidah Dahlan Mosque.
Prof. Dr. Mufdlilah, S.SiT., M.Sc, Vice Rector III for Student Affairs and Alumni of UNISA Yogyakarta, appreciated this activity.
“This is a clear example of how students can contribute to others. I hope this spirit of sharing will be maintained,” she said.
Lukmannul Hakim, MATAF event coordinator, expressed his pride at the success of this fundraising.
“We hope this activity can inspire other students to participate in social activities,” he added.
Meanwhile, Andis from LAZISMU UNISA explained that in addition to the MATAF scholarship, there is also a SERDADU scholarship program that comes from donations of one thousand rupiah per week from students and the academic community of UNISA Yogyakarta.
Jakarta, October 11, 2024 – Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta paid an official visit to the Jakarta Islamic Hospital (RSIJ) Cempaka Putih in order to strengthen the cooperation relationship between the two institutions, especially in the field of health and academic development. The visit was led by UNISA’s Vice Rector IV for Cooperation and International Affairs, M. Ali Imron, M.Fis, and attended by 25 leaders from the deans, heads of study programs, as well as heads of institutions and bureaus of UNISA Yogyakarta which also followed up on RSIJ’s visit to UNISA Yogyakarta last month.
Cooperation Visit
In his speech, the Chairman of RSIJ Cempaka Putih, Dr. Agus Syamsudin, welcomed UNISA’s visit. He expressed his appreciation for this opportunity for cooperation and highlighted the importance of synergy between universities and hospitals. “Dr. Jack and friends, including Dr. Eko, are well. In addition to RSIJ Cempaka Putih, we also have several other hospitals such as Pondok Kopi Hospital, Indramayu, Muhammadiyah Bandung Hospital, and Klender Mental Hospital. With this extensive network, concrete and beneficial cooperation can be established immediately,” said Dr. Agus.
Dr. Agus also added that he would like to start the development of the best medical rehabilitation clinic in Jakarta that will combine the advantages of both parties. “At UNISA, medical rehabilitation is one of its specialties. Early next year we should start building the best medical rehabilitation clinic in Jakarta,” he said.
This cooperation visit is expected to provide significant added value, both for UNISA Yogyakarta and RSIJ Cempaka Putih, with several key points proposed:
UNISA Yogyakarta will be given a practice field for lecturers and students. Hospitals that may not have had time to innovate, can get new ideas from universities for joint research and international publications (scopus). Doctors from RSIJ Cempaka Putih who are also lecturers are expected to strengthen collaboration because they are in one Muhammadiyah organization.
Dr. Agus also mentioned that RSIJ Cempaka Putih has a training center that has been certified by the Ministry of Health, so that development programs such as Professional Credit Units (SKP) can be carried out more easily. He emphasized the importance of cooperation that is not only limited to internships, but also mutually beneficial joint development, as well as quality internships that must be paid for because students help the hospital’s operations.
Vice Rector IV of UNISA Yogyakarta, M. Ali Imron, M.Fis, in his speech expressed his gratitude for this opportunity to stay in touch. “Alhamdulillah, we from UNISA are allowed to stay in touch with RSIJ Cempaka Putih. We have excellence in the health sector and see how complex this hospital is, which involves many professions. This can be an important input in curriculum development at UNISA,” said Ali Imron.
He also explained that UNISA Yogyakarta has several excellent programs in architecture and medical rehabilitation that can be synergized with RSIJ Cempaka Putih, including the latest technology-based therapies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and mirroring.
During this cooperation visit, Ali Imron presented three main focuses:
Professional internship: UNISA Yogyakarta will send students who have graduated and have STRs for internships at RSIJ Cempaka Putih, with the best 10% from each batch selected. This program also supports RSIJ’s plan to recruit health workers from university partners. Professional teaching: UNISA Yogyakarta will collaborate with RSIJ in a clinical educator program to strengthen clinical education. Joint research: UNISA Yogyakarta has a Master of Midwifery program with Health Technology Assessment (HTA) excellence that can be developed with RSIJ. This research is expected to improve the acceleration and efficiency of health services.
During this visit, UNISA Yogyakarta also emphasized the importance of research collaboration to evaluate services and accelerate innovation at RSIJ Cempaka Putih. With close cooperation between academics and health practitioners, it is expected that hospital services will be optimized.
“Thank you for the warm welcome. We hope, with the good practice here, we can promote RSIJ Cempaka Putih to other Muhammadiyah hospital networks,” concluded Ali Imron.
This collaborative visit is expected to strengthen the relationship between UNISA Yogyakarta and RSIJ Cempaka Putih, and expand cooperation in academics, research, and health services.
