Abstract

Breast cancer and cervical cancer are two leading causes of death among Indonesian women, yet they are preventable through early detection. Tanjung Anom Village in Pancur Batu Subdistrict is a rural area with low health literacy, particularly regarding cancer screening. This community service aimed to improve women's knowledge and awareness through SADARI (Breast Self-Examination) training and IVA (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid) examination. A community-based participatory approach was applied, involving health cadres, village leaders, and women of reproductive age as key participants. The results showed a significant increase in participants’ knowledge scores, from an average of 52.4 to 76.2 after the intervention. A total of 48 women voluntarily underwent the IVA test, and a Women's Health Working Group was established to sustain ongoing education. The emergence of local leaders and collective awareness reflects a successful health-based social transformation. This program has proven effective and can be replicated in other rural settings.
