Standing in an area of 360-meter square and equipped with advanced facilities and tools to perform high quality medical training programs, the AASLC aims to improve and support new requirements necessary for the Indonesian healthcare human capital. It will not only focus on surgery but also multi-disciplinary areas including nursing, to enhance practitioner’s knowledge and skills in serving patients in respective hospitals.

With a solid collaboration and its role in improving surgical training, Aesculap Academy Indonesia continues to prioritize the principle of "no harm" and "patient safety" for students. If there is no training today, there will be no surgeon tomorrow.
