The Contribution of PT Soho Global Health Tbk in Supporting the Health Service Movement for Simultaneous Intervention to Prevent Stunting in Sukabumi

PT Soho Global Health Tbk (SGH) once again demonstrated its contribution to a future where Indonesian children are free from stunting in Sukabumi Regency by providing stunting intervention assistance through the distribution of supplementary food (PMT) in the form of Curcuma Plus milk to 350 toddlers in Sukabumi Regency. As the main sponsor of the Health Service Movement for Simultaneous Intervention to Prevent Stunting organized by the Sukabumi Police, PT Soho showed its commitment to eradicating stunting, with Sukabumi as a priority for stunting alleviation, considering that the prevalence of stunting in this regency reached 27.5%, the second highest in West Java province (based on the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey - SSGI data).

The symbolic event for the handover of CSR assistance for the stunting intervention movement was held in the Sukabumi Police Headquarters Hall, Jl. Sudirman 12, Palabuhanratu, Sukabumi Regency on June 26, 2024. The event was held in commemoration of the 78th Bhayangkara Day and was attended by the Head of the Sukabumi Regency Health Office, the Chairman of the Sukabumi Regency Branch of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI), the Chairman of the Sukabumi Regency Branch of the Indonesian Village Government Association (APDESI), the Head of Palabuhanratu Community Health Center, the Head of the Sukabumi Regency Police, and other related officials.

This CSR initiative is a form of PT Soho's commitment in line with its purpose, to hold the care of human life as our highest priority and thereby glorify God. Curcuma Plus, as the number one selling children's vitamin brand in Indonesia for appetite and growth, has also launched an innovative milk formula with higher energy and protein and lower sugar to help improve children's appetites, increase their weight and height, and achieve better nutritional status.

"SGH is once again realizing its commitment to addressing stunting in Sukabumi Regency, particularly in areas close to the SOHO Center of Excellence in Herbal Research (SCEHR) plantation and research facilities in Nagrak, Sukabumi, where the Curcuma plant, the main ingredient in Curcuma Plus products, is cultivated. The natural goodness from Sukabumi is expected to support efforts to eradicate stunting, which is a priority for Sukabumi Regency in line with the Kabupaten Sukabumi Sehat (KSS) program," said Dr. Solitaire E F Ram Mozes, MM, Head of Health and Food and Beverage Supervision, IDI.

This stunting intervention program represents a good collaboration between the government and the private sector. This is not the first time PT Soho has made a tangible contribution to stunting intervention efforts in Sukabumi Regency. For at least the last five years, PT Soho has continuously supported the Kabupaten Sukabumi Sehat (KSS) program initiated by the Sukabumi Regency government through various stunting alleviation programs, the provision of healthy toilets (open defecation free/ODF program), and the provision of segregated waste bins for organic, non-organic, and hazardous waste.

It is our sincere hope that in the future there will be more active and beneficial collaborations between PT Soho and the Sukabumi Regency government, especially in the fields of public health and stunting prevention.

Hope for Sumba Hope for Indonesia program

SGH supports English learning activities for school-age children in Sumba organized by the English Goes to Kampung (EGK) Sumba community in Lamboya village, Laboya Bawa, West Sumba through the Share the Books program: Hope for Sumba Hope for Indonesia.

From September 24th to 28th, 2023, four (4) volunteers from SGH namely Dr. Raphael Aswin Susilowidodo (Vice President R&D, Regulatory and Medical Affairs), Mutiara Nurazizah (Regulatory Executive), Monica Yunita Letoaty (Regulatory Executive), and Fransiska Nanda Astuti Utami (Accounting Supervisor) departed for West Sumba to serve as guest volunteers in the Prai Ijing class in the traditional village of Waikabubak, and the learning center in Lamboya. This year marks SGH's second year of support for this program. During this occasion, SGH volunteers inspired and engaged with the children of EGK Sumba, starting with reading books during reading time, conducting a fun science class themed around Capillarity, singing English songs accompanied by saxophone music, and playing various games. The children of EGK Sumba appeared very enthusiastic and joyful while participating in the classes that day.

In the midst of the challenging conditions in West Sumba, where schools are poorly equipped and access to books is limited, the donations and acts of kindness from Soho Global Health (SGH) colleagues mean a great deal to the local children. Reading books, stationery, teaching tools, and monetary donations are all greatly appreciated. Books serve as a window to the world, helping children at EGK Sumba learn about the world and build their dreams.

The children and youth of Sumba are the future generations of the island, particularly in the tourism sector in Sumba Island, which relies heavily on foreign visitors. Therefore, it is crucial to provide English language learning resources to the youth in Sumbanese villages. In 2015, a humanitarian and literacy activist named Roswita Asti Kulla initiated English Goes to Kampung (EGK) Sumba, which has since reached over 1,000 Sumbanese children. However, there is still a long way to go to achieve the foundation's mission of making education accessible on Sumba Island.

"Education is a right, not a privilege”, and it is our responsibility to ensure that every child becomes literate. Every child, regardless of their economic situation, deserves an equal opportunity to access education and pursue their dreams. 

In addition to being guest lecturers, the SGH volunteers visited the Ikat Weaving Workshop named Karaja Sumba to observe the process of making woven fabric using natural dyes carried out by the local community. The SGH volunteer team also contributed to the advancement of the local economy in Sumba by providing direct English language coaching and offering input on the production process, including packaging and branding/marketing of Karaja Sumba woven products.

Junior Scientists 2023: Spark your Curious Mind

Jakarta (6/7) – The lively atmosphere filled with children's excitement took place in the lobby of PT SOHO Industri Pharmasi, Jl Pulogadung No.6. The sound of children aged 5-8 could be heard, enlivening the Junior Scientists 2023 event. Some were busy playing, singing songs, taking photos with the Junior Scientists backdrop, and joking around while waiting for the event to begin at exactly 9:00.

On July 5, 2023, SOHO once again held the Junior Scientists event as part of PT SOHO Global Health Tbk's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. A similar event was first organized in 2019 but could not be held throughout the pandemic in 2020-2022. The event on July 5, 2023, marked the comeback of Junior Scientists, which had been eagerly awaited, and was intended to fill children's school holidays with beneficial activities. The opportunity to participate was dedicated to the children of SOHO employees. The enthusiasm of SOHO employees for this program was evident through the high number of registrations, and as a result, the event was attended by 36 participants divided into 6 groups.

This annual program aims to provide education about the world of science in a fun and entertaining manner (edutainment). "We hope that children will experience firsthand how exciting science can be through various thrilling experiments and observations in the laboratory," said Dr. Raphael Aswin, VP of R&D and Medical Affairs at SOHO Global Health, in his speech that also marked the opening of the Junior Scientists event.
 The event continued with a series of exciting activities in the R&D lab, starting with a lab tour session where children wore lab coats and observed the process of producing Fitkom tablets. Then, the activities proceeded to the Sensory Lab, where children were introduced to various tastes and colors by the patient and knowledgeable senior scientists who guided the highly curious children.

During the break between the lab and non-lab sessions, snack time was provided along with Curcuma Plus milk, which turned out to be highly popular among the children due to its delicious taste. After satisfying their hunger, the children continued with equally exciting non-lab activities. The activities included "Curcuma Plus syrup in the making," "Dino toothpaste," and "lava lamp," which were all conducted in a fun and engaging manner. Science is truly FUN!

Early science education is indeed crucial. By providing children with science education at an early age, we can instill a curious mindset in them, which will contribute to the development of innovative and smart generations in the future. The children proudly took home their own homemade Curcuma Plus syrup, reflecting their sense of accomplishment. They were also provided with bento lunch boxes, goodie bags containing various SOHO products, lab coats with the Junior Scientists logo, Curcuma Plus pins, and super cool Junior Scientists medals. We look forward to the next exciting Junior Scientists event with amazing children who make us all proud. See ya!

SGH Social Responsibility through the Share the Books program “Hope for Sumba Hope for Indonesia"

Jakarta, June 17, 2022 - In line with SGH's purpose, to hold the care of human life as our highest priority, SGH supports English learning activities for school-age children in Sumba organized by the English Goes to Kampung (EGK) Sumba community in Lamboya village, Laboya Bawa, West Sumba through the Share the Books program: Hope for Sumba Hope for Indonesia.

Attended by around 60 children in various ages, which were divided into 5 classes, the English learning activity at the Lamboya learning center & library, which was attended by volunteers from SGH on May 3, 2022 was fun and enjoyable. In the Rainbow class, which consists of kindergarten and elementary school children, the activity begins with reading a book, then the children are guided by the teachers to learn to understand the meaning of the book they are reading. Sky class (which, as the name implies, makes the sky its roof) is the definition of nature classrooms where children are taught to sing in the outdoor classrooms and taught various types of English vocabulary using flash cards.

In the midst of the difficult conditions of West Sumba, poor school conditions and limited access to books, the donations and act of love of Soho Global Health (SGH) colleagues who share reading books, stationery and donations of funds really mean a lot to them. Books are really a window to the world, through books, children at EGK Sumba begin to know the world, and dare to build their dreams.

Sumbanese children and youth are the future generations of Sumba, especially in the tourism sector which relies on foreign tourists. There is a fundamental need to provide English learning resources for village youth in Sumba. Since 2015, English Goes to Kampung (EGK) has been initiated by a humanitarian and literacy activist, Roswita Asti Kulla. Today, this foundation has reached more than 1,000 Sumbanese children. However, there is still a long way to go to realize this community's mission: to make education accessible on Sumba Island.

“There’s nothing more contagious than the laughter of young children”. And to see their innocent smiles, it is our responsibility to fight for literacy. Regardless of their current (economic) situation, every child must have the same opportunity to access education and build on their hope to make their dreams come true.

SOHO Global Health Holds “Gotong Royong” Vaccination for Employees, Supports Acceleration of the National Health and Economic Recovery

The COVID-19 pandemic that has lasted more than a year has not only had an impact on health but also the economy in Indonesia. The COVID-19 vaccine is a new hope for all countries as a solution for the pandemic. The Indonesian government has permitted the implementation of “Gotong Royong” Vaccination (VGR) for business players/companies so that the Indonesian economy can recover quickly. VGR is expected to accelerate and expand vaccination coverage to achieve herd immunity.

The implementation of the VGR was initiated by Kamar Dagang Indonesia / KADIN and in collaboration with PT. Bio Farma (Persero) as a vaccine manufacturer. In its implementation, SOHO Global Health appointed PT. Kimia Farma Diagnostika (KFD) as a Health Service Facility based on recommendations from PT. Bio Farma (Persero). The type of vaccine used in the implementation of the VGR is the Sinopharm vaccine.

SOHO Global Health, as a company operates in the healthcare sector, is committed to participate in VGR to accelerate the recovery of health and the national economy. Monday, June 28, 2021 at the factory area of PT. Soho Industri Pharmasi on Jl. Pulogadung No. 6, SOHO Global Health marked the implementation of the first batch of VGR which was given to 500 employees and families who are located in the Greater Jakarta area.

The event started at 8:00 am with a session of the opening ceremony and the initial stage of vaccination for the management represented by DR. Raphael Aswin – Vice President of Research & Development, Regulatory, and Medical Affairs, Bapak Sugiharjo – Vice President of Medical Healthcare (who was also attend the vaccination program with his wife), and Ibu Catharina Siswanti Librawati – Vice President of Alliance.

"SOHO's vision in participating in the VGR program is to protect employees and their families, as well as to create "herd immunity" in the community/Indonesia in the fight against COVID-19," said DR. Raphael Aswin in his remarks at the ceremony session.

On the same occasion, Ibu Catharina S. Librawati said, "In addition, SOHO management also reminds us to continue to follow the 5M health protocols namely wearing masks (it is recommended to use double masks), washing hands, maintaining distance, avoiding crowds, and reducing mobility. This process needs to be maintained during the vaccination process and after vaccination.

Furthermore, Bapak Sugiharjo also added in his remarks about the importance of health and vaccination is part of achieving good health to avoid COVID-19. In addition, he also reminded the importance of taking supplements, and SOHO is a producer of vitamins/supplements including Imboost Force/Regular, Curcuma Force, Boost D (vitamin D) and Cester (vitamin C).

The event then continued with the implementation of vaccinations for employees (and their families) who started to arrive on-site according to the time allotted by the committee. Limiting the number of participants present in the vaccination area is indeed arranged to prevent crowds and ensure the 5M health protocol is implemented with discipline. The flow of vaccination includes: pre-registration by the SOHO team, continued to the vaccinator area, namely KFD, which begins with registration, screening/anamnesis, and vaccine injection, then ends with observation of Post-Immunization Adverse Events (AEFI).

The series of events for the first batch of the SGH “Gotong Royong” Vaccination was run smoothly, following the 5M health protocol and ended at 5 pm. The success of this event was the result of hard efforts of the committee team who in a short time prepared all facilities and equipment for vaccination in coordination with various parties. After this first batch vaccination, SGH will continue to coordinate with KADIN and Bio Farma for the next batches of vaccination for SGH employees.

The COVID-19 vaccination does help increase immunity to fight viral infections, but don't be careless after getting the vaccine, we are not immune from COVID-19 infection. More important is implementing a healthy lifestyle and continuing to be disciplined in implementing the 5M health protocol: Wearing masks, Washing hands with soap and running water, Keeping a distance, Staying away from crowds, and Limiting mobilization and interaction.

Let's together protect ourselves and our families to break the chain of COVID-19 transmission and support the acceleration of national health and economic recovery.

Jakarta (12/07) – Unusual atmosphere took place in the lobby of PT SOHO Industri Pharmasi, Jl Pulogadung No.6. The crowd of children aged 5-10 years gracing the Junior Scientists SOHO event. Some kids were busy discussing, read books, sing yells, and there were also kids happily selfies and making jokes while waiting for the start of the program at 9am sharp.

On July 4 and July 11, 2019 for the first time SOHO held a Junior Scientists event as part of PT SOHO Global Health's CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) program. The event, which was initiated and held for the first time in 2019, is intended to make the use of school holidays for children with educative activities. This first opportunity was dedicated to SOHO employees who enthusiastically welcome this program. The registration was filled up quickly so that the event was attended by 40 participants (divided into 2 batches).

The program which is planned to be held annually aims to provide education about the world of science through various scientific activities in the R & D laboratory. "We hope children will experience for themselves how exciting the world of science is. SCIENCE is FUN, "said DR. Raphael Aswin, VP of R & D SOHO Global Health in his remarks which at the same time opened this Junior Scientists event.

In his remarks Dr. Aswin teaches the importance of science in everyday life and especially science for our health. "The junior scientists here need to imagine living without lights, without refrigerators, and the scariest ... without cellphones, and without medicine when we are sick," explained Dr. Aswin to all children who participated in Junior Scientists batch 1 and 2.

The program then continued with a series of exciting activities in the R & D lab through a lab touring session in the grey area where children wore lab overalls and watched the making of Fitkom tablets, then the activity continued in the Sensory Lab where children were introduced to various flavors and colors by our R & D scientists who are very patient in guiding children.

The event break between lab sessions and non-lab sessions was filled with snack time and drinking Curcuma Plus milk which turned out to be very popular among participants because it tastes very good. Not a few children add more and more Curcuma Plus milk. After snack time, the children continue the non-lab activities that are not less exciting. The most awaited "syrup making" and "bubble making" activities of the children took place with great fun. The children took home their own Curcuma Plus syrup made and were proud of their masterpiece. The next exciting activity is Fun Coloring with FITKOM. Almost all girls love Flo, the most beautiful and helpful Fitkom Ranger, while boys idolize the super smart Fin and the super strong Fred.

Science education from an early age is indeed very important to form a habit of curious mindset in children, so that after adulthood will create a  strong and smart   generation. It  is our   humble pride if after participating in this Junior Scientists children go home with big dreams to become "real scientists" when they grow up
