Abstract

Non-communicable diseases have an impact on many aspects of life. Hyperuricemia is one of the non-communicable diseases. In addition to gout, anaemia is one of the problems experienced by many Indonesian people. Anaemia is a condition in which the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin concentration is less than the normal limit. The purpose of this service is to carry out uric acid and hemoglobin screening in the community in the Palu city area as a post-disaster area. The benefit of this community service activity is that the community can find out the levels of uric acid and hemoglobin from the community so that they can take steps related to the results of the examination. The method used is screening in the form of uric acid and hemoglobin examinations, and also personal counselling in the form of presentations related to the results of the examination and also follow-up suggestions. Participants in this service are people in the Palu city area.

Abstract

Measles is an airborne disease with a very high transmission rate. There has been a global increase in both morbidity and mortality due to measles. In 2023, outbreaks occurred in several regions, particularly in Central Sulawesi, with Palu City being notably affected. This study aimed to evaluate the surveillance activities following the measles outbreak in the jurisdiction of the Palu City District Health Office, employing a systems approach. The research respondents included surveillance officers from the Palu City Health Office and those from the Puskesmas (community health centers) within its area. Data were collected through interviews and observations. The findings revealed several issues in the input aspect of surveillance, including overlapping roles for surveillance officers, a lack of knowledge transfer to new personnel, insufficient tactical funding for outbreak responses, and inadequate computer resources at some health centers to support surveillance activities. In the process aspect, challenges included the absence of designated contact persons from hospitals for all public health centers (PHCs), delays in the timely collection of zero case data, and inconsistent data processing with sub-district stratification among PHCs. Regarding the output aspect, reports were often not delivered promptly, and the dissemination of information was limited to internal stakeholders.
