The National University of Singapore – The Logistics Institute – Asia Pacific (TLIAP) team, led by Dr Robert de Souza, returned to Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) and RS PKU Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Hospital for a focused two-day engagement to advance our ongoing collaboration.

Day 2 commenced with a progress update across the three key collaboration tracks: research, serious gaming, and education. This was followed by a dedicated session on serious games, featuring an introductory presentation by Dr Robert de Souza and Dr Mohammad Rizki Pratama, mini lectures on hospital logistics by Dr. Giuseppe Timperio, Ph.D. and Dr. firman pribadi, and a didactic walkthrough of the game by Mr. Za’aba Abdul Rahim.

The session was jointly facilitated by Mr. Za’aba Abdul Rahim, Dr. Mohammad Rizki Pratama, Dr. Giuseppe Timperio, Ph.D. and Dr. Vishnu Singh.
