Abstract

Hypertension is currently a significant problem for all of us, not only in Indonesia but also in the world. Hypertension is the silent killer because it is often without complaints. Patients do not know they have hypertension which is not uncommon only after complications occur. Based on data from the West Sumatra Health Office report, the highest number of hypertension cases was in Solok Regency (21,907 cases). Based on the analysis of health data at the Jua Gaek Health Center in 2020, hypertension is the main problem for non-communicable diseases, especially in the elderly group, while the methods or systems in health promotion efforts are inadequate. This activity aims to increase the commitment of Health Centre and community leaders to increase public knowledge about hypertension and design more innovative health promotion programs. Exercises to increase general knowledge use the lecture method, installing health promotion media, making banners, leaflets, booklets, and posters. The activity results showed an increase in public knowledge about the dangers of hypertension for health from 60% to 95% and the availability of health promotion media at the Health Centre and distributed in several public places.
