This study analyzes the internal and external communication dynamics within the Indonesian Pediatric Society (IDAI), a professional medical organization that plays a strategic role in enhancing pediatricians' professionalism and advocating for child health in Indonesia. Adopting a qualitative approach through a case study method, the research collected data via in-depth interviews with IDAI executives, pediatric specialists, and a review of relevant documents. Findings indicate that internal communication within IDAI serves a crucial function in program coordination, member engagement, and the dissemination of policy information and medical education. Meanwhile, external communication with government bodies, the media, and the public contributes to strengthening child health advocacy and countering misinformation. Despite IDAI's efforts to optimize digital technology in both internal and external communication, challenges remain—particularly in building organizational cohesion and ensuring effective public outreach. This study underscores the importance of adaptive and participatory communication strategies to enhance the effectiveness of professional medical organizations. The findings offer valuable insights into the development of more responsive and strategic organizational communication within the health sector.
