Merauke, Papua – The AIDS commission (KPA) noted that from January to March 2024, there were 16 cases of HIV-AIDS in Merauke Regency, South Papua. Three of them resulted in fatalities. Damario Sriyono, the Secretary of KPA in Merauke Regency, stated to Jubi on Tuesday (3/19/2024) that among the cases recorded earlier this year, the patients were from the general public.
“At the beginning of 2024, there have already been 16 cases, within the span of three months, including 14 cases of HIV, 2 of AIDS, and 3 fatalities. The numbers remain quite high,” said Damario Sriyono.
“The patients are from the general public. Indeed, the general public is much more vulnerable than high-risk workers. High-risk workers (such as sex workers) are more closely monitored, and they undergo routine check-ups,” he continued.
Damario Sriyono mentioned that the cumulative cases of HIV-AIDS in Merauke Regency since its discovery in 1999 until 2024 amounted to 2,827 cases. Housewives ranked first as the highest percentage of patients, at 21.4 percent.
“Every year, the number of cases remains high. On average, there are 100 patients each year. In 2023, there were 107 cases, and in 2022, there were 126 cases. The issue of HIV-AIDS in Merauke indeed needs attention from all parties, especially the government,” he stated.
Damario Sriyono added that the issue of HIV-AIDS in the regency is like an iceberg phenomenon. It could become a “time bomb” if not prevented and handled seriously. Prevention is crucial to curb the spread of this deadly disease.
“In terms of budget, the support from the local government for HIV-AIDS prevention and mitigation is still very minimal. Actually, prevention is much cheaper than treatment and care. Therefore, we hope the local government can provide more serious attention,” he concluded. (*)
Jayapura, Jubi – Dr. Oscar Oswald O Wambrauw SE MSc Agr, the rector of Cenderawasih University, announced that the campus currently boasts 28 professors. Wambrauw made this announcement during the inauguration ceremony of professors at Cenderawasih University in Jayapura City on Monday (3/19/2024).
Two lecturers from Cenderawasih University who were inaugurated as professors are Prof. Dr. Vince Tebay SSos MSi and Prof. Dr. Jonner Nainggolan Msi. “Today, we are inaugurating two professors, bringing our total count to 28 professors,” he said.
Wambrauw mentioned that these professors are distributed across various faculties: Faculty of Economics and Business (8), Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (6), Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (5), Faculty of Law (3), Faculty of Sports Sciences (4), and Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (2).
“In fact, Cenderawasih University has 38 professors, seven of whom have passed away, and three have retired. Currently, 28 are active. Several faculties still lack professors, namely the Faculty of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, and Faculty of Engineering,” he added.
Wambrauw emphasized that the presence of professors signifies the credibility and progress of the university, contributing to the quality of education and enhancing the university’s management. Additionally, having professors can expedite the accreditation process of study programs.
“The presence of professors will expedite the accreditation process. Out of 88 study programs, around 65 have received ‘Excellent’ accreditation,” he stated.
Furthermore, Wambrauw highlighted that professors play an active role in making Cenderawasih University a center of scientific and intellectual excellence. He also noted that their presence serve as inspiration for other lecturers to pursue higher academic achievements.
“Until now, we have facilitated 36 lecturers who are in the process of preparing to accelerate their journey towards becoming professors. By the end of this year, we could reach 50 professors. The increase in the number of professors proves that we are increasingly ready to implement Cenderawasih University as a Public Service State University,” he remarked.
Prof. Dr. Balthasar Kambuaya MBA, the Chairman of the Senate of Cenderawasih University, stated that as part of its development master plan, the university aims to become a research university. He emphasized the need for strong and qualified lecturers to achieve this goal. “We need many professors, doctors, and masters for this university to become a research university,” he said.
Kambuaya acknowledged the challenging journey to becoming a professor, requiring significant resources, effort, thought, and time. He urged professors to make tangible contributions to the community and Cenderawasih University. “All lecturers should aspire to become professors,” he concluded. (*)
Located on Yos Sudarso Island, some 129 kilometers away from Merauke, Kimaam Sub-district can only be reached by airplane or ship, Kimaam Post Commander Second Lieutenant Raden Andika stated.
During this community service, the army paramedics visited the households in need of healthcare services, he noted in a press statement that ANTARA received in Jayapura City on Wednesday.
Apart from providing healthcare services to the villagers, the army personnel also conducted a knowledge-sharing session on healthy lifestyle and clean environment, Andika remarked.

ANTARA reported earlier that Indonesian soldiers stationed in Papua have demonstrated exemplary capability in maintaining peace and stability in the region for decades in their endeavors to safeguard the country's territorial integrity.
The soldiers are chiefly tasked with securing peace and stability in the country's easternmost region.
However, they are also living and mingling with members of local communities, which has provided them a glimpse of the challenges faced by native Papuans in their day-to-day lives.
