Faculty member of the Master of Public Health Program (MIKM), Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, participated as a presenter at the Knowledge and Innovation Exchange (KONEKSI) Summit 2026 held in Jakarta on 28–29 April 2026.

During the summit, the team disseminated findings from a 2024–2025 research project focusing on primary healthcare services and their readiness to address the impacts of climate change. The study was a collaborative initiative involving Australian National University (ANU), Dr. Nyoman Sutarsa, and Udayana University under the leadership of Principal Investigator dr. Sawitri together with the PRIME Center research team.

The study applied a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach and was conducted across three provinces in Indonesia: Bali, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB), and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). The research explored how primary healthcare systems can strengthen preparedness and adaptive capacity in responding to climate-related health challenges.

The findings had previously been presented in 2025 and discussed with various stakeholders to enhance the policy relevance and practical impact of the research. In 2026, the study was again presented and further discussed with policymakers, researchers, and representatives from community organizations to deepen collaboration and strengthen pathways toward evidence-informed policy development.

Participation in the KONEKSI Summit provided an important platform for expanding dissemination of the study findings while fostering connections between researchers from Indonesia and international institutions.

This activity also reflects the commitment of the Master of Public Health Program, Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, to advancing collaborative and policy-oriented public health research.
