The Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Indonesia has been promoting the work from home (remote working) scheme since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. To support the decision, the faculty developed several online systems to facilitate services for stakeholders (students, alumni, collaboration partners, etc) as well as to make it easier for employees to serve stakeholder’s needs and to complete their work remotely. Among many other online systems developed by the faculty, there is one that’s called the Unit Layanan Fakultas (ULF) or Faculty Service Unit. The ULF can be accessed by all civitas through the faculty’s website.
Inside the ULF, all services for the faculty’s stakeholders have been integrated online including Sistem Informasi Dokumentasi Ujian (SIDU), Aplikasi Permintaan Surat Mahasiswa Akademik & Kemahasiswaan (Permisa), Online Ethical Review, Biaya Operasional Pendidikan Berkeadilan (BOPB) or Fair Education Operational Cost Management, etc. Through the Sistem Informasi Dokumentasi Ujian (SIDU) or Exam Documentation Information System, the educational staff can monitor the list of students who take exams on a certain day. On the other hand, the Aplikasi Permintaan Surat Mahasiswa Akademik & Kemahasiswaan or Academic & Student Affairs Letter Request Application can facilitate students in requesting official letters from the Academic and/or Student Affairs Unit online without the need to meet in person.
To address planning issues and development such as ensuring local residents are able to access affordable housing, the Faculty of Public Health often collaborates with local authorities. In 2021, the Faculty of Public Health collaborates with the Regional Government and the Regional Development Planning Agency of Bogor City through Field Learning Experience and Community Service program.
Throughout the program, final year students are assigned to conduct digital education to the community in several urban villages in Bogor City related to stunting and nutritional intake issues, waste management, Clean and Healthy Lifestyle, as well as COVID-19 contact tracing. The results of the program are presented to stakeholders as a consideration for planning and development in Bogor City to create a healthy and sustainable city.
