Abstract

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) remain a public health problem in 149 tropical and subtropical countries, including Indonesia. NTDs are closely related to poverty and low levels of hygiene and sanitation. In Indonesia alone, there are more than 5 types of neglected tropical diseases, one of which is leprosy. Leprosy, also known as Morbus Hansen, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, is a disease with a long history. Leprosy can be found in several scriptures and has been known since the time of Ancient Egypt around 2000 years BC. This disease is often considered a curse on the sufferer and until now this stigma continues to stick to the sufferer. Stigmatization and social discrimination in leprosy patients make leprosy sufferers isolated from the surrounding community so that the outreach process by health workers becomes difficult. Guidance for leprosy patients in the form of counseling was carried out before the pandemic through self-care groups for leprosy sufferers, and evaluations were carried out after the pandemic to assess improvements in literacy levels and understanding of the group members. The result of this community is an increase in literacy about the adoption of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) among the members of self-care groups in first-level of health facilities.

Abstract

Tetanus is a serious disease caused by spores of the bacterium Clostridium tetani. Tetanus infection has no boundaries as people of all ages can be infected and it is still a public health problem today, especially for pregnant women and newborns. Neonatal tetanus (TN) is the tetanus infection in infants aged 3 – 28 days after birth and maternal tetanus (MT) is the infection that occurs during pregnancy and up to 6 weeks after delivery. Tetanus infection generally occurs if the delivery is not carried out in health facilities with adequate equipment and is known as one of the most common causes of death during childbirth. The aim of this Community Service activity was to provide counseling about the importance of Tetanus Toxoid (TT) T immunization for prospective brides and WUS who came to the mother and children out-patient clinic at the Primary Health Care. Cadres those bearing an important role in expanding health information for the community were also involved in this program. This Community Service activity held counseling for the prospective bride and fertile-aged women, while the cadres were given refreshing additional knowledge about TT immunization. The results of this activity were increasing the cadres’ knowledge about TT immunization, and those prospective-bride and fertile-aged women were also encouraged to carry out active TT immunization at the Primary Health Care. There is also a need for cross-sector collaboration with the Religious Affairs office in the application of evidence of TT immunization for prospective-bride as a mandatory requirement that could be implemented properly.
