The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FKIK) was established in an effort to meet the community’s need for health workers for the development of the Indonesian nation. This is in accordance with the vision to support the government in realizing the concept of Healthy Indonesia 2010. As an educational institution, the State Islamic University (UIN) Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta answers this need by opening a new study program.
