This activity also involved FK UNS students in the preparation of modules and the implementation of activities. The main objective of this activity is to increase the capacity of cadres so that they can become reliable implementers in screening and preventing PTM in their areas. It is hoped that this training will equip the cadres to be able to consistently carry out subsequent Poskes activities, so that the goal of preventing PTM can be achieved.
"Our hope is that the knowledge shared can be useful for cadres in carrying out their duties. And I hope that the cooperation that has been fostered and the existing Poskes activities can be sustainable so that the people of Kuwiran Village are healthier," the Head of RG TRIMED, Dr. Budiyanti Wiboworini, dr., M.Kes., Sp.GK said.
