Congratulations go out to Dwiputra Rezky Agung for achieving Third Place in the National Scientific Essay Competition at WASCO X INSM 2025, held by the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Warmadewa, in Bali from August 14–17, 2025. With the theme “SHIELD for TRID: Strengthening health innovations and efforts to limit the development of travel-related infectious disease,” the competition brought together medical students from all over Indonesia to generate solutions for global health mobility challenges.
