Malaysia, May 31, 2025 — Students of the Public Health Study Program (Kesmas) of the University of Muhammadiyah Surakarta (UMS) have once again achieved a proud achievement. Aisyah Nur Afifah, along with her team, won the Gold Medal at the prestigious international event, the World Young Inventors Exhibition (WYIE) 2025, held in Malaysia on May 29–31, 2025.
