He also hopes that Undiksha can make this happen, especially if nuclear technology is applied. “It is hoped that the use of nuclear will have an impact on the tourism industry in general,” she said
Meanwhile, Deputy for Nuclear Technology Utilization, BATAN Dr. Hendig Winarno said that until now, nuclear is mostly known as an explosive. But actually, it can be used for the development of the health sector and the agricultural sector. Undiksha, as a higher education institution that has several faculties and is supported by human resources, is considered a potential partner that can be collaborated with in its development. “We hope that nuclear technology can be useful for the wider community, both in Indonesia and Bali,” he said.
Deputy Regent of Buleleng, dr. I Nyoman Sutjidra, Sp.OG said that currently, the number of hospitals that utilize nuclear technology is still relatively small. The Buleleng Regency Government also supports if this can be applied to RSUD so that it can improve the quality of service to the community. “If nuclear power is utilized as well as possible, it will be very beneficial,” he concluded. The seminar also included the signing of an MoU with the Ministry of Crafts regarding tourism health services. Apart from the main event, there were also further discussions with resource persons.
