Udayana University's Faculty of Medicine Research and Community Service Unit (UPPM) Holds Integrated Health Social Service, Serving 500 Residents of Kesimpar Village
The Research and Community Service Unit (UPPM) of the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University, in collaboration with international partners the Rotary Club and the Bali Sehat Clinic, held a community service activity in the form of integrated health services at the Pura Puseh Wantilan, Kesimpar Village, Karangasem Regency, on Friday, June 5, 2026.
This activity received a very enthusiastic response from the local community. Approximately 500 residents attended and received various free health services. This program demonstrates the university's and partners' commitment to supporting improved public health, particularly in areas that still require better access to optimal health services.
A variety of health services were provided during the activity, ranging from general health checks, nutritional status assessments and stunting screenings for children, physiotherapy services, dental and oral health checks, to simple laboratory tests including blood sugar, cholesterol, and uric acid levels. In addition, the community also received anthropometric examinations and blood pressure measurements as part of efforts to detect various health problems early.
The team of healthcare professionals involved, consisting of general practitioners, pediatricians, physiotherapists, dentists, nurses, and students from the medical faculty, provided comprehensive services to the community. After the examination, participants requiring further treatment also received medications according to the medical indications identified during the examination.
One of the main focuses of this activity was the prevention and treatment of stunting in children. Through growth and development and nutritional status examinations conducted by pediatricians, parents received education on the importance of balanced nutrition, appropriate parenting patterns, and regular monitoring of their children's growth. This effort is expected to raise public awareness of the importance of early stunting prevention.
As a form of support for family welfare and meeting the community's nutritional needs, the committee also distributed basic food packages to residents and supplementary food packages for toddlers in attendance.
The Coordinator of the UPPM FK Unud, Dr. Agus Eka Darwinata, S.Ked., PhD., stated that collaboration between educational institutions, health care facilities, social organizations, and the community is a strategic step in realizing sustainable health development. Through community service activities like this, it is hoped that the community will not only receive healthcare services but also knowledge that can be applied in their daily lives to maintain family health.
Through this spirit of dedication and collaboration, this activity demonstrates the tangible contribution of the academic world and various stakeholders in supporting the creation of a healthier society.
