Abstract

Background: Access to clean water is a fundamental indicator of public health and human well-being. In Papua Province, particularly in Merauke Regency, the provision of clean water services continues to face significant challenges due to limited infrastructure, difficult geographical conditions, dispersed settlement patterns, and constraints in technical and financial capacity. Objective: This study aims to describe the effectiveness of clean water production and distribution patterns in Merauke Regency, Papua Province, during the period 2021–2023, based on secondary data obtained from official statistical sources. Methods: A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using secondary data sourced from official provincial statistical records. The analysis focused on indicators of clean water production, distribution effectiveness, and utilization patterns over the study period. Data were systematically organized into tables and graphical presentations, and observed trends and patterns were interpreted narratively. Results: The findings reveal considerable fluctuations in clean water production and distribution. An increase in production was observed in 2022, followed by a decline in 2023. Distribution frequency varied across the study period, while water utilization was predominantly accounted for by household consumers. A notable discrepancy between production and utilization volumes suggests the presence of distribution inefficiencies, including potential non-revenue water losses. Conclusion: Clean water management in Merauke Regency remains constrained by complex structural and technical challenges. Strengthening governance frameworks, improving infrastructure, adopting monitoring and control technologies, and implementing inclusive service delivery approaches are essential to enhance the efficiency and equity of clean water distribution. Evidence-based policymaking and cross-sectoral collaboration are critical to achieving sustainable development targets in the drinking water sector.

Abstract

Background: Schistosomiasis remains a major neglected tropical disease and continues to constitute a significant public health challenge in several endemic areas, particularly in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. The disease is transmitted through freshwater snails that serve as intermediate hosts, resulting in chronic health consequences that adversely affect population health status, labor productivity, and broader socioeconomic development. Objective: This study aims to identify and critically analyze schistosomiasis control strategies that have been implemented in tropical settings, with particular emphasis on the effectiveness of interdisciplinary and participatory approaches in reducing disease transmission. Methods: This study employed a literature review design by analyzing ten peer-reviewed research articles reporting schistosomiasis control interventions. The reviewed strategies encompassed technical, behavioral, regulatory, and cross-sectoral approaches. Data were analyzed descriptively to assess the effectiveness, implementation processes, and outcomes of the various control strategies. Results: The findings demonstrate that integrated control strategies were effective in significantly reducing schistosomiasis prevalence. These strategies included environmental modification to reduce or eliminate freshwater snail habitats, application of molluscicides, improvement of community knowledge, attitudes, and practices through health education, enforcement of village-level regulations, and strengthening of disease surveillance systems and intersectoral collaboration. Conclusion: Effective schistosomiasis control in tropical regions requires the concurrent implementation of technical and social interventions. Community-based and participatory approaches, supported by strong local policy frameworks and sustained cross-sectoral collaboration, are critical determinants for achieving long-term control and eventual elimination of schistosomiasis.

Abstract

Background: Rhodamine B is a bright red synthetic dye that is toxic and carcinogenic, and therefore its use in food is prohibited by the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM). However, illegal use of this substance is still found, especially in foods sold freely such as those from street vendors. Objective: This research aims to analyze the presence of Rhodamin B content in tomato sauce used by street vendors on Haluoleo Street, Kambu Village, Kendari City, and relate it to the characteristics of vulnerable consumers. Methods: This research uses a quantitative descriptive design with laboratory tests using test kits. The samples in this study consist of five types of ketchup obtained from five different street vendors along Jl. Haluoleo, Kambu, City of Kendari. Results: The test results show that all negative samples contain Rhodamine B, which indicates that the food sauces sold at that location are relatively safe for consumption. From the respondents' perspective, the majority belong to the young age group (18–21 years) with varying weight distribution, and most are men who claim to regularly consume food from street vendors. Although the test results indicate no presence of Rhodamine B, the risk of exposure to hazardous substances still exists if monitoring and consumer education are not improved. Conclusion: Nickel mining in North Konawe Regency has brought positive economic impacts, such as increased production and employment opportunities. However, it has also led to river pollution due to industrial waste containing heavy metals, which affects water quality and public health. Therefore, proper environmental management and the preparation of a comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessment are essential to minimize negative impacts and support the sustainability of mining activities.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia has a large Muslim population, with a substantial proportion residing in areas that are vulnerable to malaria transmission. One such area is Trenggalek District, which is classified as a malaria-endemic region in East Java Province. Geographical conditions, occupational activities, and population mobility are factors that may influence malaria transmission dynamics in this region. Methods: This study employed a descriptive observational research design. Secondary data were obtained from the Environmental Health Engineering and Disease Control Agency (BBTKLPP) Surabaya. The data included information on the characteristics of malaria cases in Trenggalek District as well as the results of resistance testing of Anopheles vagus mosquitoes to 0.75% permethrin insecticide conducted in Pandean Village, Trenggalek District. Results: Trenggalek District is categorized as a low malaria endemic area, with most reported cases being imported, as no indigenous malaria cases have been identified to date. Malaria case trends from 2014 to 2017 exhibited fluctuating patterns. The majority of malaria patients were male (97.34%), with 59.88% working as farmers and 29.79% employed in the private sector. The insecticide resistance test showed that 100% of Anopheles vagus mosquitoes died within one hour of exposure to 0.75% permethrin, while no mortality was observed in the control group. Conclusion: Most malaria cases in Trenggalek District occurred among male individuals with high mobility, particularly those working as farmers or in the private sector, indicating a potential risk for the emergence of indigenous malaria transmission. Anopheles vagus mosquitoes in Pandean Village, Trenggalek District, remain susceptible to 0.75% permethrin insecticide.

Abstract

Background: The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Indonesia remains alarmingly high. MMR is a critical indicator of public health, reflecting the number of women who die due to pregnancy-related complications, including childbirth and treatment-related issues, within 42 days postpartum, excluding accidents or incidental causes. This rate is measured per 100.000 live births (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia & Measure DHS ICF International, 2012). MMR serves as a measure of the effectiveness of maternal health programs, and its reduction is a key objective of public health strategies. Objective: This study aims to examine the distribution of maternal deaths in Yogyakarta City from 2015 to 2021, using secondary data sourced from the Yogyakarta City Health Profile. Method: The study employs a quantitative descriptive approach, analyzing secondary data obtained from the Yogyakarta City Health Profile. The data include the number of maternal deaths recorded annually. The analysis was conducted by organizing the data into tables and graphs, followed by a narrative interpretation to identify trends and patterns in maternal mortality rates. Results: The study found fluctuations in the maternal mortality rate from 2015 to 2021. While the MMR showed some stability, it remained high, indicating ongoing challenges in maternal health. The rate is influenced by various factors, including nutritional status, socio-economic conditions, pre-existing health conditions, pregnancy complications, and access to healthcare. Conclusion: The fluctuations in maternal mortality rates in Yogyakarta City highlight persistent challenges in improving maternal health despite relatively adequate healthcare infrastructure. These findings underscore the need to strengthen maternal and neonatal health services, enhance referral systems, and improve access to healthcare, particularly in remote areas. Community-based interventions and data-driven policies are crucial to achieving sustainable health development goals.
