The Faculty of Medicine (FK) of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) has added another public space as part of its commitment to creating a healthy and comfortable learning environment. The public space, inaugurated on Saturday (September 6, 2025), is named Healthy Garden. As its name suggests, the park, located east of the Rahmi Mosque, offers a green garden concept with a walking track and exercise equipment for the FK UNS academic community to exercise in a comfortable environment. The Healthy Garden was developed through a collaboration between FK UNS and Dr. Bayu Dwi Siswanto, M.Si., a 1995 alumnus and founder of PT. Syifa Bioderma.

The Healthy Garden was officially inaugurated by UNS Rector, Prof. Dr. Hartono, dr., M.Si., with a symbolic ribbon-cutting and tree-planting ceremony. Also in attendance was the Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Alumni, Prof. Ir. Dody Ariawan, S.T., M.T., Ph.D, the ranks of deputy deans of the UNS Faculty of Medicine, Chairman of the UNS Faculty of Medicine Alumni Family, Dr. Muhammad Husen Prabowo, dr., M.P.H and dozens of UNS Faculty of Medicine alumni from 1995.

In his remarks, Prof. Hartono expressed his appreciation for the initiatives taken by FK UNS alumni for their alma mater.

"Great universities around the world have all been able to advance and become as great as they are today, thanks in part to the role of alumni in developing their alma mater. I truly appreciate the work done by Dr. Bayu and his fellow FK UNS alumni of 1995. I hope this doesn't stop with the class of 1995, but is followed by other classes," he said.

He advised that positive initiatives like this shouldn't be limited to one class but should spread to other classes, contributing directly to the advancement of FK UNS.

"It's the job of the Head of the Faculty of Medicine's Auditorium to encourage other alumni. Don't become alumni who forget their roots. Don't just hold reunions, but also make real contributions to the advancement of your alma mater," he explained.

Representing FK UNS alumni, Dr. Bayu expressed his gratitude to FK UNS for giving him the space to contribute to the alma mater.

"Of course, as alumni, we are proud to have contributed to our alma mater. We hope this park will be beneficial and become a comfortable place for activities. We extend our gratitude to the faculty for giving us this opportunity to contribute. We hope this will inspire other alumni," he said.

Dr. Annang Giri Moelyo, dr., Sp.A(K), Vice Dean for Non-Academic Affairs at the Faculty of Medicine, UNS, in his remarks, advised that FK UNS graduates will forever be connected to their alma mater.

"These alumni will forever be connected and inseparable from their alma mater, FK UNS. Therefore, always remember your alma mater, uphold its good name, and we certainly look forward to your concrete contributions," he explained.
