Since 2011, I had been actively involved in the national medical student organization called ISMKI. Then in 2013, I was chosen as a representative from my organization in multi-professional health student forum called HPEQ Student. From that forum, we worked together toward our common goals to implement IPC and to increase the health service quality.
