Abstract

Community service in the form of free health check-up services for the elderly in Savanajaya Village, Buru Regency, is part of the work program of KKN Kebangsaan XII students. This activity aims to provide equal access to health services for all groups and increase awareness of the importance of health among the elderly. This free health check is carried out in collaboration with the Savanajaya Village Health Center and the Buru Regency Health Office. The screening process involves physical examinations and basic health tests, such as blood pressure and sugar level measurements. This program is expected to facilitate better access to health services, especially for those with economic limitations. Active community participation and collaboration between KKN students and local health agencies are key to the success of this program.

Review

This community service report describes an initiative focused on improving elder health through free health check-up services in Savanajaya Village. The program, a collaboration between KKN Kebangsaan XII students, the Savanajaya Village Health Center, and the Buru Regency Health Office, directly addresses a critical need for accessible healthcare among the elderly, particularly those facing economic constraints. The stated aims—to provide equal access and raise health awareness—are highly commendable and align well with public health objectives. The practical approach of offering physical examinations and basic health tests like blood pressure and blood sugar measurements demonstrates a foundational level of health screening that can identify potential issues early. While the abstract clearly outlines the program's objectives and operational framework, it would benefit from further elaboration on the methodology and impact assessment. For instance, details on the number of elderly participants reached, the prevalence of health issues identified, or the immediate feedback from the community would significantly strengthen the report. Although the abstract mentions the expectation of facilitating better access and highlights active community participation as a key to success, quantitative or qualitative data illustrating these outcomes are absent. Future iterations of reporting could include pre- and post-intervention health awareness surveys or a follow-up mechanism to track the long-term impact on participants' health-seeking behaviors or health status. Overall, this program represents a valuable and well-intentioned effort to address health disparities in rural communities. The collaborative model between student groups and local health authorities is a strong point, demonstrating a sustainable approach to community engagement. To enhance its contribution to the literature, future reports should incorporate more rigorous data collection and analysis regarding the health outcomes, participant engagement levels, and the cost-effectiveness of the intervention. This would transform it from a description of a beneficial activity into a robust case study that can inform similar initiatives elsewhere, providing concrete evidence of its effectiveness and replicability.
