Mufdlilah explained that the alumni gathering this time was extraordinary, UNISA Yogyakarta was able to capture what was needed by alumni and what could be given to alumni, besides that it was also informed of the agenda for the establishment of PKU Mataram Hospital which was originally a clinic by the local Muhammadiyah Association.
