Semarang, Indonesia, September 16, 2025.
The Faculty of Health Science, Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (UDINUS), is hosting the 5th International Seminar and Workshop on Public Health Action (ISWOPHA 5) under the theme “Empowering Digital Health and Blue Economy to Improve Public Health.”

One of the most anticipated speakers at this year’s event is Dr. Tuyen Van Duong, the President of the Asian Health Literacy Association (AHLA). Dr. Tuyen is internationally recognized for his pioneering research on health literacy, digital health, and patient empowerment, with extensive publications that have shaped health policy and practice across Asia and beyond.

In his keynote session, Dr. Tuyen will share perspectives on how health literacy can be strengthened in the digital era to bridge gaps in access, equity, and quality of care. His talk will also address the importance of collaborative action between governments, academia, and communities to build resilient health systems capable of facing global challenges such as pandemics and climate change.

UDINUS’s decision to invite Dr. Tuyen as a keynote speaker reflects the university’s commitment to fostering global academic exchange and advancing evidence-based solutions for public health. His presence not only strengthens the international profile of ISWOPHA 5 but also inspires the next generation of health professionals in Indonesia. ISWOPHA 5 gathers leading experts, policymakers, and practitioners from various fields, with discussions spanning epidemiology, health policy, nutrition, sanitation, waste management, and the health impacts of climate change.
