Transforming One Health Leadership: Ms. Luh Rai Maduretno Asvinigita’s Fellowship Journey


The SEAOHUN fellowship marks a pivotal chapter in our fellows' professional lives, providing transformative experiences that redefine their understanding and application of One Health concepts. Ms. Luh Rai Maduretno Asvinigita, a community pharmacist from Bali, Indonesia, exemplifies this transformation.


Hosted at the Ateneo Center for Research and Innovation (ACRI) in the Philippines, Gita’s fellowship spanned three enriching months. She transitioned from having theoretical knowledge to actively engaging in practical One Health applications. Her significant contributions included assisting in drafting the monitoring and evaluation aspects of the Philippines National Action Plan to combat AMR (2024-2029), contributing to Sensing Reports for the Health Security Compendium, and supporting the design of an Educator’s Guide on Chemical Hazards in the Classroom.



Reflecting on her experience, Gita shares, “The SEAOHUN fellowship has been a pivotal chapter in my professional life, transforming my understanding of One Health and equipping me with the tools to make a meaningful impact. As I look forward to future endeavors, I am both excited and grateful for the foundation this experience has provided.”


After her fellowship, Gita’s journey continued as she undertook research under the Antimicrobial Resistance Control Action Association (PAPRA Indonesia), focusing on developing data standards for AMR surveillance within a One Health framework. Her next chapter includes a PhD scholarship at the University of Sydney to study rational antimicrobial use, underscoring her commitment to advancing global health security.
