Furthermore, the Vice Rector II also stated that the theme was correctly chosen as the purpose was to improve the nursing service quality for patients of stroke, given the fact that the number of cases of stroke kept continually increasing, hoping that updated information about stroke and post-stroke managements in elderly patients could be shared holistically through the seminar. The Vice Rector also hoped that in the future other events that involve alumni could be held by every study program at the university.
