Being able to do advocacy on health issues is a competency needed by graduates of higher education. Unfortunately, based on research, the role of advocating is considered less significant than other roles. Education in the health sector itself was also identified as providing only limited opportunities to be able to facilitate the achievement of this role. Exposure to advocacy learning requires experience initiation and service exposure in the community so that students get a broad understanding of how advocacy can be carried out. Students are expected to be able to deeply appreciate the various social determinants to develop global health advocacy skill.

One of the outcomes of formal global health advocacy is policy brief. There are various ways, challenges, and innovations in encouraging students to write policy brief. Duta Wacana Christian University School of Medicine with World Nations International collaborated in implementing the Global Health Advocacy Course. This course is expected to facilitate students to understand global health advocacy and then encourage students to make policy brief on that theme.
