Ini dibuat , untuk mengingatkan panjangnya sebuah usaha yang mama lakukan untuk bisa menempuh yang namanya Kota Chennai... Sebuah kota di India selatan, plus berdasarkan permintaan tante wiwit (mama andro ) yang meminta mama sering sering update blog..
Sebelum memulai semua dulu, mumpung ini masih awal... Mama mau mengucakan sesuatu dulu untuk Mama Andro..
"Thank you to being my new friend, become a best friend, become a friend who makes me want try to write, especially write this blog.."
Wawwww, kannn...
Kenapa diceritain?? Karena alhamdulilah dari kebiasaan menulis ini, semua makalah mama diterima di jurnal nasional, dan masuk juga di skala internasional. Yup, memulai dari sesuatu yang sifatnya enjoy, jadinya terbiasa dengan memulai menuangkan apa yang dipikirkan, apa yang dirasa, dan terbiasa untuk menganalisa suatu masalah dengan baik, dan membuat kesimpulan dengan baik.
So, Mama Andro.. Makasih untuk mengomporin saya, dengan melihat blognya Mama andro, duuuhhh jadi terinspirasi untuk memulai menulis.
Next story, adalah perjuangan mama untuk mencapai kota Chennai. Karena ini sifatnya bercerita, tak ayal ingin juga sharing mengenai isi- isi dari semua email yang mama sampaikan ke pada para profesor disana, semoga bisa menginspirasi terutama untuk orang orang yang ingin atau berniat mendapatkan scholarship dari dalam negeri.
Ketika pengumuman untuk penerimaan sandwich sudah ada sejak akhir januari 2012, mama gencar mengirim surat - surat ke beberapa instansi khususnya dengan instansi yang melakukan riset di bidang tuberculosis.
Sekedar Informasi, pusatnya riset TUBERCULOSIS dunia adalah WHO, maka dari itu yang dicari yang utama adalah link WHO dunia, cari link dimana pada konsultan tuberculosis tersebar di seluruh negara yang dianggap layak.
Kalau tidak salah baca dan lupa ada sekitar 50 orangan yang terlibat dan dijadikan konsultan TBC untuk dunia, plus beberapa Institusi riset yang didanai oleh WHO. Yang paling gampang cari yang terkenal, dapat 1 , yaitu CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention)
Jadi yang diemail yang pertama kali ama mama, ya ini... Balasan berbalas email.. Lama banget, akhirnya jawabanya muncul , mama diberikan kesempatan untuk training selama 5 hari, ga lebih.. Hehehehe.. Ya , dari 5 bulan hanya 5 hari???
Kayaknya karena mama anggap ini gagal, kaga usah dishare ya isi isi emailnya, bahaya.. (maluuu hehehe)
Kemudian mencari yang lain, dan mama lebih prefer memilih wilayah asia pasifik, terpilih dua negara yang jadi basic sentral untuk asia pasifik, Thailand dan India. Setelah diteliti, ternyata India dijadikan tempat utama untuk konsultasi di wilayah asia pasifik.. So pilihan jatuh ke NIRT(National Institute for Research of Tuberculosis), posisinya di Chennai, Merupakan bagian dari ICMR
Dengan web yang cukup aplikatif, mama mendapatkan info yang banyak berkaitan dengan visi, misi, jurnal yang sudah dipublish untuk bidang tuberkulosis.
Akhirnya terkirimlah surat ini, yang berisikan...
Dear
Director
National Institute for Research in Tuberculosis (NIRT)
Mayor V.R.Ramanathan Road (Spurtank Road) Chetput
Chennai - 600031.
My name is Yani Mulyani; I am a phd student of School of Pharmacy, Bandung Institute of Technology, the best and the largest technology institute in Indonesia.
Our Government will provide the scholarships for phd students in my country to do an internship abroad in college or research institution for a maximum of 4 (four) months through Sandwich-S3 scholarships Program aimed to gain international activities at colleges abroad or Foreign Affairs Research Institute
I have opened the website of National Institute Tuberculosis Research (NITR), and I am very interested in what NITR have done and published in the research of tuberculosis with some field of specialization was screening lead compounds from plant extracts.
I also have read the standard operation procedure for NITR Mycobacteriology laboratory, Department of Bacteriology, and the paper from Indian Journal of Tuberculosis about the method for isolation, identification, culture, and Drug Supceptibility Test (DST) to M. Tuberculosis using conventional methods and the new generation methods such as BACTEC 460 etc. The method for (DST) to M. Tuberculosis are described at 2003 CLSI standard with BACTEC 960.
The new generation method allows obtaining accurate estimation related to drug resistance in the community mainly from endemic countries such as India and also provides the tools which are reliable for doctor diagnose. Unfortunately, in our country the DST method to against M. Tuberculosis using CLSI standard is not commonly used because it is expensive.
Recently. Tuberculosis in Indonesia is 5th in world. Emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively-drug resistant (XDR) strains of M. Tuberculosis has further complicated the problem of tuberculosis (TB) control. Medicinal plants are a hope for developing alternate medicines for the treatment of TB. Indonesia is one of the few countries in the world which has unique wealth of medicinal plants and vast traditional knowledge of use of herbal medicine for cure of various diseases. My research study was carried out to study antibacterial activity of ethanol extracts from ten plants against susceptible strain M. Tuberculosis H37Rv and MDR isolates of M. Tuberculosis. Plants selection was based on its ethno-medicinal uses in respiratory disorder. Antimicrobial assays were performed in Lowenstein Jensen (L-J) medium (proportion method). Currently, I have been testing the activity of anti-tuberculosis of the ten types of plants and ethanol extract of Petiveria alliacea has anti-tuberculosis activity against M. Tuberculosis H37Rv and two MDR M. Tuberculosis. Similary, fraction and subfraction Petiveria alliacea ethanol extracts also inhibits of bacteria growth compared to standard antimycobacterial drugs. At this time, the research is being proceeded to find a pure compound which is responsible for the activity of anti-tuberculosis. I hope my research will be completed by mid-2012.
Regarding with one of the national missions of NITR which is to share knowledge, I have plan to improve my knowledge and skills with other DST methods based on standard operating procedure for laboratory mycobacterioloy. Furthermore, by this email, if I will receive the government scholarship, I will develop a method by comparing the results of the DST conventional method with a new method. NITR facilities library has large collection of books and scientific journals on different aspects of tuberculosis and other related subjects; it will be very helpful to finish my thesis and to make the papers for International Journal publication.
By accepting me as one of visiting students at the Tuberculosis Research Centre, Department of Bacteriology, would be very beneficial in the development of methods of DST in Indonesia. So, I hope I can discuss with principal investigator in order to improve the quality of my phd Thesis. The period for the scholarship program is on August and December 2012, and the scholarships are provided for a maximum of four months. The scholarships are included tuition fee, living cost, book fee, meals, and roundtrip airfare.
I sincerely hope that the director of NITR will reply this email and thank you for reading this message.
Sincerely yours,
Emmmm, panjang juga ya emailnyaa...
Ya disini, mama menceritakan banyak hal mengenai siapa mama, apa yang sedang mama kerjaka, juga beberapa hal terkait dengan riset tuberculosis, dan permohonan ijin untuk bisa masuk ke NIRT.
Apakah langsung dijawab???
Oke, untuk tips, seorang profesor disana, tidak akan langsung membaca email dan membalasnya , karena mereka pasti juga sibuk, juga sedang dalam keadaan tidak bisa langsung menjawab.
Jikalau langsung dijawab... Berarti ada beberapa hal yang baik:
1. Kita memang beruntung
2. Riset kita pas banget ama riset si profesor
3. Kita in the correct time, bahwa memang kita tepat bisa masuk ke sana.
Akhirnya balasan yang ditunggu datang..

Dear Dr. Katoch
Yani Mulyani is a doctoral student of school of pharmacy, Bandung Institute of Technology, Indonesia .
She wants to visit NIRT and get trained in culture and DST as apart of her fellowship associated scholarship.
She is bringing her plant extracts to test for anti TB activity and will submit a dissertation project report at the end of four months
She comes with her own funding for accommodation and travel.
I request you to kindly permit us to go ahead with the training for her which is likely to commence from July-November 2012.
Dr. Vanaja Kumar
Alhamdulilah, dapet pembimbing yang support, hingga akhirnya terjadi missuderstanding, yaitu:
1. Dipikir bahwa untuk mendapatkan clearance cukup hanya dari embasyy India di Jakarta
2. Dipikir lagi bahwa cukup dari saya yang melakukan kontak dengan pihak ICMR sebagai leader NIRT, ternyata butuh orang dari pimpinan Sekolah Farmasi ITB.
So... Inilah kejadiannya..
Beberapa kejadian, kalau menurut mama menjadi tidak menyenangkan adalah, dimana mama sudah memesan tiket pesawat, segera setelah VISA keluar. (Visa keluar tanggal 21 Juni 2012)
Ternyata, tidak cukup clearance dari kedutaan yang harus dibuat, tapi ada tambahan dari dua instansi terkait, yaitu ICMR dan Departemen dalam Negeri India untuk ijin stay ,
Inilah story dimana terjadi begitu banyak hal...
Story pertama, permohonan ke pihak ITB..
Dear Yani,
I am given to understand that any foreign student should get the clearance from Indian ministry (ours being a central government institute) through ICMR. This should be initiated from the organisation the student is attached to.
Kindly send the documents requested(as mentioned in the mail sent by Harpreet Sandhu of ICMR) to ICMR directly from your institute duely forwarded by your authorities.
Please be quick.

Dengan Hormat,
Saya, Yani Mulyani, salah satu mahasiswa program doktor, semester 6 tahun ajaran 2011/2012 dibawah bimibingan Prof. Elin Yulinah, Dr. I Ketut Adnyana dan Dr. Elfahmi. Salah satu program yang akan saya kerjakan untuk semester 7 ini, adalah menyelesaikan riset sesuai road map desertasi dengan tema Aktivitas Anti tuberkulosis.
Untuk menunjang program ini, saya sudah diterima di salah satu institusi riset tuberkulosis , tepatnya di Chennai, INDIA, dengan nama institusi adalah NIRT (National Institute for Research in Tuberculosis), rencananya akan dibimbing oleh Dr. Vanaja Kumar dari NIRT. Jadwal keberangkatan ke Chennai, pada tanggal 13 Juli hingga 13 Desember 2012.
Alasan utama pemilihan NIRT adalah, institusi ini dijadikan center konsultan WHO untuk wilayah ASIA Pasifik terutama terhadap metode uji diagnostik tuberculosis (TBC) dan uji sensitivitas obat TBC.
Saya sudah, menyelesaikan semua yang berkaitan dengan persyaratan penerimaan visiting student. Namun, mengingat NIRT adalah salah satu unit Institusi dibawah naungan Indian Council Medical Research (ICMR), http://www.icmr.nic.in/ , saya diharuskan mengirimkan permohonan langsung ke ICMR melalui institusi dimana saya bernaung, yaitu di Sekolah Farmasi- ITB. Seperti tertera dalam email terakhir dari Dr. Vanaja Kumar.
Saya memohon, agar pihak Sekolah Farmasi - ITB dapat membantu dalam melengkapi semua permohonan ini untuk mendapatkan clearance dari ICMR.
Untuk alamat email ICMR, berdasarkan data di web ICMR http://www.icmr.nic.in/, email bisa dikirim kedg@icmr.org.in, atau secydhr@icmr.org.in, dan diteruskan ke DR. V.M. KATOCH , SECRETARY (DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH RESEARCH) & DIRECTOR GENERAL di email vishwamohan_katoch@yahoo.co.in , dan pembimbing NIRT Dr. Vanaja Kumar , vanaja_kumar51@yahoo.co.in
Demikian , surat permohonan ini saya sampaikan kepada Sekolah Farmasi - ITB, semoga dapat dipenuhi.
Story kedua, usahanya Vanaja Kumar untuk mempertahankan jadwal Keberangkatan mama...
Dear Yani,
I am travelling. Kindly send the details requested to Rashmi Arora, chief, ECD division, ICMR and all those copy marked in this mail, quickly. I know you have sent all these and more. Instead of asking them to look for it, it is better to send the details again.

Ideally all these papers should have been sent to ICMR by the concerned programme officer at NIRT.

It generally takes 6-8 weeks . I wish Dr Vanaja had informed ICMR Hqrs earlier before fixing up the date of your visit.
Anyhow we will take all the efforts to take necessary GOI clearance as early as possible. In case we do not get MEA clearance in time at such a short notice you may have to reschedule your period of visit to NIRT , India.
All the best

Thank you so much for your reply. I am understand about all the risk that I have to reschedule my period of visit to NIRT regarding with the procedure of taking GOI approval.
And Dr. Vanaja kumar had informed me about ICMR Hqrs, but I am to earlier to make a booked flight without permission from Dr. Vanaja Kumar, because I want to used my spare time for get trained in tuberculosis drug susceptibility test for anti tuberculosis, before I have my research at NIRT for supporting my desertation project.
I am sorry for this inconvenience for you as a person who take responsibility to make clearance from GOI for me.
I will reschedule my arrival to NIRT,after I accept GOI approval.
Thank you so much for all your kindness and understanding of my problem.
Best regards,
Yani Mulyani

STORY ke 4, inilah jawaban dari Vanaja kumar
Dear Dr.Rashmi,
Obviously, only the candidate can provide the details. I have not fixed the date of training either. It was their option.
Being a ICMR scientist, I am unable to understand the procedures involved. It is too complicated.
Yup, inilah ceritanya... bagaimana mama memproses semua dan berharap jadwal keberangkatan mama tidak di cancel. Tapi ingat yaaaa, Hanya Allah yang Maha mengatur semua, dan tahu mana yang terbaik untuk semua umatnya..
Akhirnya terjawab apa yang mama rasakan, tak lama pengumuman sandwich dikti muncuk di hari yang sama mama melakukan email terakhir dengan Vanaja , seperti pecah bisul rasanya,,, ... FINALLY Scholarship dari sandwich dikti, keluarrrr.. MAMA LOLOS, hanya 162 orang yang lolos, sedangkan 230 orang lain gagal. Mama yakin ini diatur oleh ALLAH, mengapa mama harus mengurus semua dari awal, mengapa mama harus delay untuk perjalanannya dlll,,...
Intinya ini kesempatan kedua mama untuk mendapatkan dana pendamping dari DIKTI, dari pemerintah Indonesia.
Jadi.. Alhamdulilah, semua peristiwa akan ada hikmahnya.. semua peristiwa ada berkahnya, mama akan terus berjuang, dan tidak akan mundur.
Yang terbaik itu yang akan mama lakukan, salah satunya mengikuti seminar Internasional di Kulalumpur tgl 12 November 2012, berkumpul bersama 129 negara lain dan hanya membahas satu topik desertasi mama yaitu TUBERCULOSIS, dan hebatnya lagi, MAMA accepted to be one of partivipant who will be presenting the research report
Alhamdulilahhhh... semua ada jalannya.. dan semua adalah yang terbaik untuk mama.
Terima kasih Ya ALLAH.
