The activity was officially opened by the Dean of the Unhas Postgraduate School, Prof. Dr. Budu, Ph.D., Sp.

Lutz explained the process of graduatiion as a health worker in Germany, which must first carry out an exam and a year of practice. He revealed that most students in Germany carry out education for five years to be a health worker.
Lutz said that midwives in Germany practice directly in hospitals just like in Indonesia. Midwives in Germany are covered by insurance and are also given shuttle facilities to the hospital. The number of people interested in this field has increased from year to year. Furthermore, Lutz explained that nursing students who complete their education, later after getting a diploma do not need to declare a nursing diploma for nursing students, because the educational strata in Germany do not have a Bachelor and Master.
