Dr. Takamiya elaborated that this collaboration is part of the Japan Initiative for Global Research Network on Infectious Diseases (J-GRID) program, which partners with UNAIR\u2019s Institute of Tropical Disease (ITD UA). \u201cWe see significant potential in the research being conducted at UNAIR, particularly in tackling various tropical diseases,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n
A notable highlight of the visit was the Japanese delegation\u2019s keen interest in UNAIR Hospital\u2019s approach to treating thalassemia. \u201cThalassemia is extremely rare in Japan, so we have gained valuable insights into UNAIR Hospital\u2019s treatment strategies for patients with this condition,\u201d said Dr. Takamiya.<\/p>\n\n
Future prospects<\/strong><\/h4>\n\nProf. Nasronudin, UNAIR Hospital Director, emphasized that research collaboration between Indonesia and Japan continues to strengthen, particularly through the J-GRID program, which has been in place since 2007 and was renewed in 2015.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cThis visit is particularly significant as we are not only welcoming representatives from Kobe University but also from NCGM and NIID, expanding the scope for further collaboration,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n
Prof. Nasronudin hopes the partnership can expand beyond research into education and patient care. \u201cWe aim for this collaboration to produce academic advancements that benefit society and support the Indonesian government\u2019s core initiative of research downstreaming,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n
