Welcome to Health Talk!

Our group was formed out of the growing concern of rampant medical practices in Indonesia. Rather than bad-mouthing about how bad they are, we have decided to be proactive by educating the general public to become smart and rational patients, which then helps minimizing the chance of their falling victim to medical malpractices.

In this newsgroup you'll be able to get expert medical opinions from Prof. dr. Iwan Darmansjah, SpFK, an emeritus professor of clinical pharmacology from FKUI and other medical experts. You can also access various medical articles and references either directly or via the links provided in this site. Our database has a list of favorite medical books that will surely pique the interest of those who are medically-inclined.

As part of our routine activities, we meet monthly to discuss health/medical issues, in which one or a few medical experts attend this session to share their knowledge and encourage participants to ask questions. For more information please contact Melinda Wiria, mnwiria@cbn.net.id.
