Unpad (Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung), GAMA-CITO (Dr. Sardjito Hospital),
and IAC Anestesi Unsoed (Margono Soekarjo Hospital).
Rigorous Evaluation Standards:
Participant performance was evaluated by an esteemed panel of anesthesia and
intensive care experts from Indonesia and the Philippines, focusing on clinical
management, technical and non-technical skills, patient safety, and debriefing
quality.
Ticket to the Asian Stage:
Following intense competition, the IAC Anestesi Unsoed team from Margono
Soekarjo Hospital emerged as the National Champion and secured their spot in
the upcoming 2027 Asia Grand Final in Malaysia.
Advancing Medical Education and
Simulation Synergy
Beyond the competition, the event's
highlight featured the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between
Comen Medical and PERDATIN, establishing a strategic partnership in medical
education, simulation-based training, and long-term academic exchange.
Following the successful Indonesian
final, the CO-Anesthesia competition series will continue across India and the
