dr. Rininta Christabella

Since I was a kid, I was very persistent and goal oriented child. At the age of 6 I decided to be a doctor because I love helping people. It was not an easy way to achieve my dream, it requires hard work and good planning. My grandfather inspired me to pursue my dream, he encouraged me to join Schools’ Health Unit which is one of the extracurriculars at my Junior high school. During the extracurriculars, I invested my time to help the unit three times a week. Even though my time with my activities was tight, I never forgot my academic subjects. I always put academics first and motivated myself to get high scores in every subject especially Biology.  I became one of the top students in my school. After I graduated from senior high school, I enrolled as a student at one of the most prestigious private medical schools in Jakarta. 

Medical School had enlightened me and provided me experience to work with the government hospital. This experience opened my eyes and my mind widely as I witnessed the poor health conditions and health system that were not so friendly to the poor who do not have health insurance. Since then, I realized that I must work for a better health care system and make it more accessible for Indonesian people, especially the needy.
