The Faculty of Medicine, Pasundan University (FK Unpas) besides focusing on the field of medical education, also has an important role in improving the degree of public health, especially in the West Java region. On this occasion, the FK Unpas Health Team had a target on children’s health, growth and development and nutritional intake. This is one of the main concerns of FK Unpas considering that stunting is still a major health problem in children in Indonesia which will certainly affect the intelligence of a child in the future. FK Unpas realizes that the health of every child is a key investment in the future of a nation.
On Tuesday, April 6, 2021 at Madrasatul Qur’an Al-Kautsar, Cilame village, Ngamprah sub-district, West Bandung Regency, the FK Unpas Health Team has successfully carried out Community Service activities in collaboration with Stikes Budi Luhur and Rotary International. The FK Unpas Health Team who participated in the event were dr. Pandith Ariwibowo, MM, dr. Gianita Yulia Lestari, MMRS, and dr. Andromeda, M. Kes., AIFO-K. Meanwhile, the target participants this time are students of Madrasatul Qur’an Al-Kautsar students and their parents. The purpose of this activity is general checkup on children’s health and distribution of milk facilitated by Rotary International as well as in order to welcome the holy month of Ramadan 1442 H.
Health checks for santri children were carried out from 08.00 – 10.00 aided by several students from Stikes Budi Luhur. The health checks carried out include examinations of body weight, height, eye vision, color blindness tests, and others.
