Abstract

Poliomyelitis (polio) is a highly infectious disease caused by the poliovirus and can lead to permanent paralysis. To address outbreaks of type 2 poliovirus, the Indonesian government implemented the National Immunization Week (PIN) using the novel Oral Polio Vaccine type 2 (nOPV2). This initiative aims to increase polio immunization coverage, particularly among children aged 0–7 years, who are most vulnerable to the disease. This activity was conducted in two sub-districts—Karang Panjang and Amantelu—through school visits and local health posts (posyandu). Each vaccinated child’s immunization card was updated, and families received counseling regarding the importance of polio vaccination. The campaign in the working area of Karpan Health Center, Ambon, reached 1,204 children, achieving 77.8% coverage. Community participation, especially among parents, was enthusiastic. Future efforts are expected to increase coverage to 100% through continued public engagement and education.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, particularly among household contacts of pulmonary TB patients. This community outreach initiative was conducted in Amantelu Subdistrict, Sirimau District, Ambon City, with the objective of reducing TB transmission through targeted interventions. The program involved door-to-door health education, distribution of educational materials (posters and leaflets), and sputum sample collection from household contacts. The educational materials emphasized Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) as a strategy to prevent TB transmission. Based on field data, 9 suspected TB cases were identified in December 2024, with a contact screening coverage rate of 52.5%. Key barriers included low public awareness and insufficient collaboration between health workers and families. The program demonstrated that continuous health education and proper environmental conditions, such as ventilation and hygiene, are critical in TB prevention. Strengthening interpersonal communication between healthcare providers and communities is essential for improving TB control outcomes, especially in the post-pandemic era.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) remain one of the most prevalent diseases in the work area of the Laimu Care Community Health Center. Many people tend to ignore early symptoms, contributing to the increased risk of transmission. Therefore, an effective health education strategy is essential to raise public awareness and promote preventive behaviors. This activity aimed to improve public knowledge and preventive behaviors related to ARI through structured health education in the Laimu Health Center area. The health education strategy was implemented with 20 respondents during working hours at the health center. Preparations included the development of educational media (leaflets), coordination with health center staff, and approval for activity implementation. The educational session consisted of lectures, interactive discussions, and Q&A on ARI symptoms, transmission, and prevention. The findings showed that respondents’ knowledge about ARI was generally good. Out of 10 questions, most participants answered correctly on nine items, with only one item (related to transmission sources) showing a lower correct response rate. The education program also reinforced the importance of clean and healthy lifestyle habits. According to health center data, ARI ranks third among the top ten diseases in the area. Health education through lectures and printed media has proven effective in improving public knowledge and awareness of ARI. Continued health promotion is recommended to further reduce the incidence and risk of ARI transmission within the community
