Dr. Dian Agung Pangaribowo expressed appreciation for the synergy created through this initiative. “This is a meaningful collaboration in our shared mission of community service. The Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Jember is open to further cooperation for future social initiatives. Our lecturers and students are ready to contribute,” he said.
