Master Program in International Health: Special Program of Implementation Research on Tropical Diseases has been implemented in Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada for two batches of students. The first batch in January 2016, with in total of 16 students from 11 countries (8 males, 8 females). In August 2016, we received the second batch students, consisting of 14 students from 6 countries (4 males and 10 females).

 Documenting all programs and activities is an important step for the board of management to continuously respect achievements and finding the areas of improvement.

We thank WHO Tropical Disease Research for financial supports the special program of implementation research on tropical disease research. We hope that there will be more collaboration activities between Faculty of Medicine UGM and WHO Tropical Disease Research.
