Posyandu activities

Posyandu services involve various parties, including village health cadres, midwives and health workers from sub-district health centers. Posyandu cadres readily welcome residents who come and provide the best service, starting from weighing toddlers, measuring height, to providing immunizations and vitamins. For the elderly, blood pressure checks, vitamins and health consultations are also available, facilitated by medical personnel.

In addition to health checks, this activity also serves as a health education event for the community. In the education session, health workers provide information about the importance of a healthy diet, clean living habits, and prevention of infectious diseases. For the elderly, topics such as how to maintain bone health and manage chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes are the main topics of discussion.

The enthusiasm of the community was very high. Many mothers brought their toddlers since morning, while the elderly came with relatives or friends of the same age. This presence shows that public awareness of the importance of health is increasing. One mother, Dewi, said that she routinely brings her child to the integrated health post because she feels helped by this easily accessible health service. A similar thing was conveyed by an elderly person named Mr. Zainal Abidin who was happy to be able to monitor his health routinely.

This activity is also a moment to strengthen the relationship between residents. While waiting for their turn, many residents chatted, exchanged stories and shared experiences. This created a warm and friendly atmosphere in the community.

The cleanliness of the integrated health post is inseparable from the support of the village government and good cooperation between integrated health post cadres, health workers and the local community.
