Background

Until now, the world including Indonesia continues to face global health problems that can be an obstacle to the creation of a world community that has a healthy life. Non communicable diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes including risk factors such as alcohol consumption, smoking behavior, obesity, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity remain a health problem that cause 3 out of 4 deaths globally with 77 per cent of them occurring in low- and middle-income countries. Other global health problems are infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, influenza, malaria, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis and of course COVID-19, Ebola and other viral infections are also still major causes of death especially in low-income countries. Environmental health, mental health and inequities in health care are other global health issues that also need attention by various parties, especially health professionals.

Health professionals have a very important role and are key actors in solving global health problems. Health professionals can influence health politics at local, national and international levels. Health professionals have diverse roles in different areas of healthcare ranging from clinical, administrative, academic or research. Health workers use evidence-based knowledge for health policy development and implementation. Based on the above description, the Faculty of Health Sciences of The State Islamic University of Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta is proud to organise International Conference with topic: "Strengthening Health Professionals through Religiosity, Collaboration and Innovation for Global Health Resilience".

This conference will be filled by speakers from several countries namely Australia, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand. Academics, researchers and practitioners from various universities both from within and outside the country are also invited to present their research results. The target audience for the conference is 150 people in total.
