Abstract

Increasing public health awareness is one of the main challenges in the health sector in Indonesia. Pharmacies not only play a role as a place to get medicine, but also as a means of health services that can provide education and basic health checks for the community. This education aims to increase public awareness about the importance of health and teach ways to maintain and improve the quality of life. Pharmacies that adopt blood testing services as part of health education programs can help reduce the burden on larger health services, such as hospitals and clinics. The educational activity to the community carried out at Apotek X Madiun City which lasted for 2 hours received a good response from the surrounding community. Where there were 35 participants who took part in blood tests and also gave various types of questions related to health. So that the provision of education and information to increase health awareness can be carried out properly. Health awareness education through blood checks in pharmacies is a strategic step in improving the quality of public health. With the strategic role of pharmacies, blood testing services can be an entrance for people to be more concerned about their health conditions.

Abstract

Stunting is a form of chronic malnutrition associated with prolonged nutritional deficiencies. One crucial way to meet the nutritional needs of young children is by consuming vegetables and fruits, which are primary sources of micronutrients. Vegetables and fruits are vital for the body as sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, essential for achieving a healthy diet according to balanced nutrition guidelines. Vitamins are particularly crucial for maintaining body health. Carrots (Daucus carota L) and dragon fruit (Hylocereus sp.) are highly nutritious vegetables and fruits, containing high levels of carotene, vitamin A, B, C, and various minerals. Providing education and training to individuals and community groups, especially those at risk, aims to enhance knowledge, foster healthy habits and behaviors, and ultimately prevent stunting in the community. This community service project consists of preparation, observation, and implementation stages. The project involved 30 participants from the community and the PKK women's group in Kerang Village, Takeran District, Magetan Regency, East Java Province. The results indicated high participant enthusiasm, as seen from their active engagement. The community learned about the benefits of carrot hard candy and dragon fruit soft candy and understood the process of making these nutritious candies. From a low level of understanding before the education, there was an increase in understanding, and the community's low skill level improved after the training.
