UNAIR NEWS “The late professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology Department Faculty of Medicine , Prof.R.Prajitno Prabowo, dr., Sp.OG (K) will always be an impressive teacher figure in the hearts of his colleagues, especially those involved in Obstetrics and Gynecology.After Prof. Prajitno passed away on Sunday, September 17, the colleagues remember the figure of their idol teacher.
To commemorate the services of Prajitno, a group of obstetricians and gynecologists FK UNAIR who are members of the community POGI RUNNERS held a Tribute Run To Prof Prajitno on Thursday, September 21.
The event was attended by dozens of participants from POGI RUNNERS community and ORTHO PLAYON Community.They consist of young doctors, PPDS students, lecturers, and alumni of FK UNAIR who have similar hobby.Besides Surabaya region community, it was also attended by colleagues from outside the city.
Head of the organizer, dr.Aldi, SpOG., said this event was held to honor the late Prajitno.“For us, he was a teacher for everyone, we respect him for his kindness, friendliness, and dedication,” he said.
Dozens of participants ran as far as 8.0 kilometers in the area of ‹‹Pakuwon Laguna Surabaya since 06.00 A.M.“The reason we traveled 8.0 km was because the deceased died at the age of 80 years,” he said.
Prof Prajitno also became one of the pioneers of the establishment of obgyn specialist school in Surabaya.In fact, when not many doctors developed laparoscopic techniques in Surabaya, he had already pioneered laparoscopic techniques to be known abroad.
Humanist side of Prof Prajitno also felt by dr.Hari Nugroho, SpOG, who was also the members of OBGIN RUNNERS.As a junior colleague, Hari remembered Prof Prajitno as a teacher and guiding figure full of warmth, especially to his students.
According to him, Prof.Prajitno is a simple person.As a teacher, he applied methods that were not monotonous.Not only that, he also often had discussions and chat about small things.
œI remember his habit.Almost every week he invited his students to study together at home.Besides teaching, he also invited students to eat together.We talked a lot while we learned.That™s how he built intimacy.We were always looking forward to the moment of togetherness with him, œhe recalled.
Recalling the moment of togetherness established long between the teacher with his students would not be easily forgotten.As one of the solid department, Tribute Run to Prof Prajitno activity is expected to inspire the doctor’s colleagues.
Meanwhile, Aldi said, POGI RUNNERS community has been formed for three years.Long before this community was born, apparently many obgyn doctors like running.Seeing the enthusiasm was quite high among the colleagues of doctors, they made a community named POGI Runners, which is chaired by Vice Dean II FK UNAIR Prof.Dr.Budi Santoso, dr .Spog (K).
The presence of a community is actually effective enough to maintain existence and consistency.Moreover, the doctors always have busy schedule so this community can be a place of communication between members to remain maintain consistency.Hopefully people are inspired too!
