A Latin phrase says mens sana in corpore sano, referring to ‘a healthy mind in a healthy body.’ Doing exercises, such as jogging and strolling, is a mean of embodying the proverb.

On Sunday (12/11), a student association of a three-year program of Electromedical Engineering (HIMATEM) of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) conducted a strolling event at a Dental and Oral Hospital (RSGM) of UMY. It was participated by lecturers, alumni, and students. After the strolling, the committee gave door prizes to the participants.

Chief of the committee Muhammad Wahyudin told that the strolling would be continued by blood donation in the following day. “These two activities are our programs,” said Wahyudin.

Besides, Chief of HIMATEM of UMY Rahmat Jalaluddin stated those two events were also organized last year. “These are our annual events and I wish that we could hold them next year,” he hoped.

Meanwhile, Secretary of Electromedical Engineering of UMY Erika Loniza, S.T., M.Eng.  declared, “We put these events on our roadmap. Each batch will organize similar activities. We expect that these events could annually be conducted to promote the program of Electromedical Engineering and the benefits of donating blood for health and worship.”
