Strategic Partnership: Indonesia Research Institute and PATKESINDO Empowering Young Medical Professionals
In a landmark development for Indonesia's healthcare sector, the Indonesia Research Institute, based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has entered into a strategic partnership with the Indonesian Medical Workers Assistant Association (PATKESINDO). This partnership aims to enhance the training and support for young healthcare professionals, particularly graduates of vocational high schools (SMK), by providing comprehensive education that includes language training, technical skills, and professional ethics. With the increasing interest among young professionals to expand their careers internationally, this collaboration is positioned as a promising pathway for establishing a sustainable ecosystem that fosters global opportunities.
On November 2025, PATKESINDO hosted a national academic conference in Solo, Indonesia, which saw participation from over 1,500 healthcare professionals across the nation. Major government bodies, including the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Cooperatives, Ministry of Home Affairs, and the Ministry of Education and Culture, contributed to the event, which was a significant gathering aimed at addressing the challenges of medical workforce placement in Indonesia. The event underscored a soaring interest in international career opportunities among young medical graduates, emphasizing the need for strategic initiatives that nurture their potential.
During the conference, Aulia, head of the language education department at Soken-School, outlined the vision of the educational institution founded by the Indonesia Research Institute. A message from the representative, Albie, emphasized that "Graduates of Indonesia's medical high schools possess the potential to excel on a global scale. Through collaboration with PATKESINDO, we expect to empower more young individuals to embark on international careers by offering high-quality training, legitimate programs, and ongoing support." Albie also highlighted the importance of standardized training curricula and consistent support in enhancing international competitiveness.
A noteworthy aspect of this partnership is its long-term vision, which transcends the objective of mere employment in Japan. The company aims to cultivate young professionals not only as temporary workers but as future partners in business. This vision received enthusiastic support during the conference, where the ideals of mutual benefit and collaboration were strongly endorsed.
Under this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), both parties commit to jointly promoting several programs aimed at improving the skills and readiness of young medical professionals:
Officials from various government departments stressed during the event that expanding career paths for medical graduates is a "national issue." They expressed strong hopes that this initiative could contribute substantially to resolving this pressing challenge.
The Indonesia Research Institute, in collaboration with PATKESINDO, aims to construct a secure and transparent "circular ecosystem for medical professionals." This model seeks to simultaneously address labor shortages in Japan's healthcare system and facilitate career development for Indonesia’s youth. Companies and medical institutions interested in this model are encouraged to reach out for collaboration.
