She explained that of the 20 million people who die each year from heart attacks, or 10 million who die from cancer, Indonesian nurses can contribute to lowering that number and saving lives.
Director General of Health, drg. Arianti Anaya said that at the Ministry of Health Polytechnic, there are 23 schools that hold international classes, including Japanese, German, and English international classes.
For the German language class pilot project, he said, the Ministry of Health collaborated with the Goethe-Institut to include 19 German language and culture credits in the 8-semester nursing curriculum at The Jakarta Polytechnic III.
“We want to expand the German language classes with other Poltekkes, after Poltekkes Bandung and Poltekkes Jakarta III, namely Poltekkes Medan and Poltekkes Maluku, ” said drg. Arianti.

In the same statement, German Ambassador to Indonesia Ina Lepel stated that this cooperation not only contributes to the exchange of skilled labor, but also strengthens bilateral relations between Indonesia and Germany.
“The students in the German class are an example of this. They bridge language, barriers, explore, and transcend differences by training to be nurses. I was very impressed with the commitment of the students and their German language skills,” says Ina.
She explained that the importance of the nursing profession in Germany continues to grow rapidly, and the demand for skilled labor increases with demographic changes.
According to the Ina, integrating German classes in nursing training is essential to prepare qualified nurses.
