President University students who are members of the APDKita team again showed their sincerity in supporting medical teams across Indonesia against COVID-19. The face shields they produce at President University's Mechanical Engineering Laboratory have now been distributed to dozens of hospitals and public health centers, whereas the face shields have arrived in the eastern farthest region of Indonesia, Papua.
A total of 50 sets of face shields arrived at Mitra Masyarakat Hospital, Timika, Papua last week. Distance is not a barrier for the APDKita team to help the medical team in Papua. "The access is difficult, so we use the shipping service to deliver them because we cannot go there directly. This is our commitment to helping medical teams throughout Indonesia," said Daniel (Information Technology 2015) as the team leader.
Daniel representing the team also thanked all parties who have supported, both in the form of donations of the basic materials of making face shields, money, and energy. "Thanks to the cooperation of all parties, APDKita has produced 1000 sets of face shields," he said. Their success was also positively welcomed by media colleagues as it was covered by the Buletin News Siang di GTV (29/04) and Instagram Narasi People and Mata Najwa (05/05) as students' action to help medical team,
Daniel revealed, currently the donation and production process is still going on. He and the team plan to make ear shields and hazmat suit as the next APDKita products. He hopes that the increasing number of APDKita's personal protective equipment production can help even more medical teams in Indonesia. (NA/SL)
APD Produksi Mahasiswa President University Tiba di Papua
Mahasiswa President University yang tergabung dalam tim APDKita kembali menunjukkan kesungguhannya dalam mendukung tim medis di seluruh Indonesia melawan COVID-19. Face shields yang mereka produksi di Laboratorium Teknik Mesin President University kini telah didistribusikan ke puluhan rumah sakit dan puskesmas, yang terjauh, face shields APDKita telah tiba di ujung timur Indonesia, Papua.
Sejumlah 50 set face shields telah tiba di Rumah Sakit Mitra Masyarakat, Timika, Papua pekan lalu. Jarak bukan menjadi penghalang bagi tim APDKita untuk membantu tim medis di Papua. "Akses kesana susah, jadi kami menggunakan opsi pengiriman karena kami tidak mungkin ke sana langsung. Memang benar cukup mahal biayanya, tapi sebagai bentuk komitmen kami untuk membantu tim medis di seluruh wilayah Indonesia, kami mengirimnya," ucap Daniel (Information Technology 2015) sebagai ketua tim ini.
Daniel mewakili tim juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada seluruh pihak yang telah mendukung, baik itu dalam bentuk donasi bahan dasar pembuatan face shields, uang, maupun tenaga. "Berkat kerja sama dari semua pihak, APDKita telah memproduksi 1000 set face shields," ujarnya. Kesuksesan mereka pun disambut positif oleh rekan media hingga diliput oleh Buletin News Siang di GTV (29/04) dan instagram Narasi People (05/05) sebagai aksi mahasiswa peduli tim medis.
Daniel mengungkapkan, saat ini penggalangan bantuan dan proses produksi masih terus berjalan. Ia dan tim merencanakan pembuatan ear shield dan baju hamzat sebagai produk APDKita selanjutnya. Ia berharap, meningkatnya jumlah produksi alat pelindung diri APDKita dapat membantu lebih banyak lagi tim medis di Indonesia. (NA/SL)
