" Share a laugh with me, and let us enjoy the brightness of life together."

Dr. Henry Riyanto Sofyan grew up as the eldest of four children in the Riyanto Sofyan family, raised by parents whose values combined discipline, compassion, and an enduring belief in service. From an early age, Henry was surrounded by two worlds that would later shape him: the precision and empathy of medicine, and the refined art of hospitality from his hotelier family. These two influences—care and warmth—continue to define the way he practices medicine today.

He began his medical journey at Universitas Indonesia, earning his Medical Degree in 2009 and completing his Neurology residency in 2015. Drawn naturally to the most challenging intersections of the field, he found his calling in pain medicine, headache, and neuro-oncology. Today, he serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Department of Neurology at Universitas Indonesia and practices as a consultant neurologist at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM), where he is part of the Neuro-Oncology, Headache, and Pain Medicine Division.

For Dr. Henry, medicine has never been a purely technical discipline. His work focuses on patients whose lives are shaped by complex cancers, chronic pain, and conditions that blur the line between physical suffering and emotional resilience. His research—ranging from CGRP pathways and migraine genetics to the bioethical dimensions of neuro-oncology—reflects his belief that science must always meet humanity.

Long before he became a neurologist, Henry also stepped into another role: that of a builder of communities. In 2004, he joined the Arva Corporation. He became a co-founder of the Insan Madina Foundation and Madina Islamic School—a contribution born from the company’s commitment to education and social responsibility. The project became more than a CSR initiative; it became a legacy that continues to shape young minds today.

In 2011, Henry married Dr. Yulika Harniza, an ophthalmologist whose dedication mirrors his own. Together, they are raising two daughters—Heidy Sheikha Moza and Hanna Sofia Misha—who are, in his words, “the center of my gravity and the quiet rhythm that keeps my world balanced.”

Beyond academia and clinical work, Henry carries the quiet imprint of his hotelier roots: the ability to listen deeply, to offer comfort, and to create an environment where people feel safe and understood. These instincts, woven with the rigor of neuroscience, make him not only a clinician but a healer.

Today, Dr. Henry continues to advance neurological care, mentor future physicians, and build collaborative research that bridges genetics, culture, and patient experience. His journey remains guided by a simple philosophy:
to treat pain with science, humanity, and a commitment to restoring dignity to those who suffer.
