The SIAGA UKS community service programme aims to improve the quality of school health facility management through education on standardising the contents of first-aid kits, a medicines management system to prevent expiry, and the enhancement of practical skills among UKS staff. The activity took place in May 2026 at SMAN 8 Samarinda with 32 Year 10 pupils participating. The methods used included interactive lectures using PowerPoint presentations, hands-on demonstrations of the use of portable diagnostic test kits, and assessment via pre-tests and post-tests. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in the students’ understanding, with all participants (100 per cent) able to answer the post-test questions correctly, particularly regarding the indicator for restricted-use medicines. The independent demonstration sessions successfully boosted the students’ confidence in using medical equipment hygienically. A continuous education programme is recommended to maintain first-aid readiness in schools.
