Abstract

Prof. Dasaad Mulijono

This documentary-style report explores the transformative work of Prof. Dasaad Mulijono, a leading cardiologist at Bethsaida Hospital, Indonesia, who is pioneering a revolution in cardiovascular care through the integration of Drug-Coated Balloon (DCB) therapy and a Whole-Food Plant-Based Diet (WFPBD). Prof. Dasaad’s approach addresses the treatment of coronary ar- tery disease (CAD) and its root causes, marking a shift from reactive to preventive healthcare. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he further demonstrated the power of nutrition in enhancing immune function and reducing mortality among high-risk populations. This report highlights how Bethsaida Hospital has become a national model for holistic, lifestyle-driven medicine, redefining heart care in Indonesia and inspiring a new generation of medical professionals to prioritize healing through food, compassion, and innovation.
