The Faculty Medical Room and First Aid are health service units within each UGM faculty and in several administrative offices, designed to provide immediate medical attention for minor health issues and emergencies among students. It forms the first line of healthcare before referral to larger UGM health facilities such as the Gadjah Mada Medical Center or the UGM Academic Hospital. The clinics provide medication for menstrual pain and offer sanitary pads for students in need.

“UGM has a Zero Tolerance Policy toward Sexual Violence”
UGM is committed to building a safe and inclusive campus environment. Our university has a zero tolerance policy towards any form of sexual violence, one that we make aware to the entire campus community. Sexual violence are not limited to physical acts but can be verbal, non-verbal, or even technology-based
In the event of such cases, the university’s Sexual Violence Task Force is responsible for handling reports, while prevention is carried out through multiple layers of efforts including education, literacy, campaigns, and spatial policies that ensure safety and comfort. These efforts are further supported by facilities such as psychological counseling services, campus security units, and safe houses for victims.
