Makassar — Another proud achievement has been made by a student from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS), Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar (Unismuh). Ikhwandi Chandra Nugraha, a 2022 medical student, successfully earned three prestigious awards at the Grand Final of the 2025 Indonesian Medical Student Ambassador Competition, held virtually via Zoom Meeting on Saturday (November 9, 2025).

In this national competition, Ikhwandi won three categories: 3rd Place (Runner-Up II) for Male Medical Student Ambassador, Best Advocacy (Male), and Most Favorite (Male).

This prestigious event brought together medical students from universities across Indonesia, serving as a platform for young future physicians to demonstrate their academic excellence, leadership capacity, and social contributions in the field of public health. The selection process was rigorous, consisting of several stages—beginning with faculty-level selection, followed by national screening, and culminating in the final and grand final rounds.

Finalists were assessed on multiple aspects, including academic competence, national insight, social advocacy, public communication, and dedication to community service in health-related areas.

Following the announcement, Ikhwandi expressed his gratitude and surprise for receiving three awards simultaneously. He emphasized that this accomplishment was the result of collective support and collaboration.

“I did not expect to receive three awards at once. This is not solely a personal achievement but also the result of encouragement and support from my lecturers, friends, and the entire Unismuh family,” said Ikhwandi.

This success adds to the growing list of national achievements by FMHS Unismuh Makassar students. The faculty extended its appreciation for Ikhwandi’s accomplishment and expressed hope that his success will inspire other students to continue striving for excellence and making meaningful contributions to society.
