Jakarta
Jakarta /dʒəˈkɑːrtə/, (formerly named Sunda Kelapa, Jayakarta and Batavia) officially the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, is the capital and most populous city of Indonesia.
Located on the northwest coast of the world's most populous island of Java, Jakarta is the country's economic, cultural and political centre, with a population of 10,075,310 as of 2014.[4][5] The official metropolitan area, known as Jabodetabek (a name formed by combining the initial syllables of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi), is the second largest in the world, yet the metropolis' suburbs still continue beyond it. Its unofficial built-up (metropolitan) area covers Bogor, Tangerang, Bekasi, Karawang, Serang, Purwakarta, Sukabumi and Subang regencies (123 districts), also including Tangerang, Bekasi, Tangerang Selatan, Depok, Serang and Cilegon Municipalities, which in total were home to 30,214,303 inhabitants as of 2010 census.[6]
Established in the fourth century, the city became an important trading port for the Kingdom of Sunda. It was the de facto capital of the Dutch East Indies (known as Batavia at that time). Today, the city has continued as the capital of Indonesia since the country's independence was declared in 1945. The city is currently the seat of the ASEAN Secretariat as well as important financial institutions such as the Bank of Indonesia, the Indonesia Stock Exchange, and the corporate headquarters of numerous Indonesian companies and multinational corporations. Jakarta's business opportunities, as well as its potential to offer a higher standard of living, attract migrants from all over Indonesia, making the city a melting pot of many communities and cultures.[7]
Jakarta is listed as an alpha global city in the 2016 Globalization and World Cities Study Group and Network (GaWC) research.[8] Based on the global metro monitor by the Brookings Institution, in 2014, economic growth in Jakarta ranked 34th among the world's 200 largest cities.[9] Jakarta has grown more rapidly than Kuala Lumpur, Beijing, and Bangkok.[10]

Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia (FKUI)
History of the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia
The history of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia is close to the general history of medical education in Indonesia as it was started during the Dutch colonization. Medical education in Indonesia was established on 2 January 1849 through the issuance of Keputusan Gubernemen No. 22. This was the starting point of medical education in Indonesia (Nederlandsch Indie) which was conducted in the Military Hospital.
Two years later, on January 1851, Sekolah Pendidikan Kedokteran (School of Medical Education) was opened at Weltevredeen with 12 students who studied for 2 years. Subsequently, the graduates from this school was conferred with title of “Dokter Djawa” (literally means Javanese Doctor) through the issuance of Keputusan Gubernemen dated 5 Juni 1853 No. 10. Although they were conferred with title of doctor, those graduates only served as a health officer/therapist for the measles patients (Mantri Cacar).
It was almost 10 years long that the Indonesian doctor had to wait to obtain greater responsibilities. In 1864, the length of medical study was changed to be 3 years and the graduates could become independent doctors, although they were under supervision of Dutch doctors.
Since 1898, Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia (FMUI) has shown commitment and consistency in developing the most excellent medical education and research in Indonesia. Empowering Indonesian people through education and thus enhancing national welfare are two of our utmost concern. The care for humanity and passion to help are integral characters of FMUI’s graduate that encompasses as many as 20% of national doctors.
Being the national center of medical education and research for almost a century, FMUI thrives to preserve its excellence in the globalization era through systematic internationalization effort. It is our vision to become the leading medical research faculty in Asia Pacific Region and the best 80 medical schools worldwide in 2014. Ranked 25 among 400 prominent Asian Universities according to QS Asian University Rankings 2011 (www.topuniversities.com), FMUI affirms its eminence as one of the top medical faculties worldwide.
Our internationalization effort in medical education is marked by implementing competency-based curriculum since 2005 as referred to World Federation for Medical Education (WFME). International class program is developed in collaboration with University of Melbourne, Monash University, and University of Newcastle. E-learning strategy along with open access to more than 6,000 current international scientific journals is provided to further assist medical students.
FMUI’s research policy is to establish high-quality biomedical and clinical research center focusing on the development of novel scientific knowledge and health products that will contribute significantly in resolving national and global health problems. Competitive research funding program Dean’s Award is held to enhance the generation of translational research. Integrated Laboratory, a sophisticated yet affordable laboratory, is built specifically to accelerate research development. Moreover, extensive mutual partnerships among national and international distinguished research institutes are nurtured in order to escalate our capacity in performing qualified research. Our outstanding achievements in medical education and research will soon become realized as Medical Education and Research Center (ME&RC), a collaborative project with Islamic Development Bank (IDB).
