Abstract

Hypertension, one of the non-communicable diseases that is often undetected in its early stages, is one of the main causes of the increase in morbidity and mortality rates in society. This is due to the lack of public awareness regarding regular blood pressure checks and the implementation of a healthy lifestyle. The aim of this community service activity is to increase public knowledge and awareness about the importance of recognising, preventing, and controlling hypertension through health education for the community. The method of the activity was carried out with a participatory approach through health counselling, distribution of educational media, and interactive conversations with the community. The results of the activity show that the community has a better understanding of the risk factors for hypertension and the importance of a healthy lifestyle to prevent hypertension. During the event, the community was very enthusiastic. This activity shows that health education can directly increase public awareness about the prevention and control of hypertension. This is expected to reduce the risk of non-communicable disease complications in the community.
