In celebration of World Pharmacists Day, the Regional Board of the Indonesian Pharmacists Association (PD IAI) and the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Sumatera Utara, held a social service event in several areas of Medan City on Thursday, September 23, 2021.
Six areas were chosen as locations for the social service: Medan Johor, Medan Denai, Medan Helvetia, Medan Marelan, Medan Tembung, and Medan Area.
The coordinator for this social service activity was Mr. Panal Sitorus, with Mrs. Armiaty serving as secretary. The entire team was divided into six groups based on the number of areas visited.
