Resapombo, Kesamben – Senior citizens (elderly) provided posyandu services for the elderly in Bulurejo Hamlet, Resapombo Village, Doko District, Wednesday (15/01/20).
Bulurejo is one of 6 hamlet in Resapombo which always has an elderly posyandu schedule every month. In various regions, this activity has begun to be promoted to provide health facilities to elderly people from villages.
It's great to see enthusiasm, especially mothers who have entered old age to take part in these activities. They welcomed him with a happy heart.
More good news, The arrival of the IAIN Tulungagung KKN was very well received that day and we were invited to take part in and help with the activities of the elderly posyandu.
That day, KKN students from IAIN Tulungagung took part in the activity from start to finish. Not just one post, DKLH post representative 2 And 3 also attended it. We have been present since 8 morning and help with preparations for activities taking place at the Bulurejo Hamlet Hall.
This elderly posyandu activity began with elderly gymnastics which was attended by all elderly residents who were present at the location as well as students who accompanied them..
Furthermore, various health checks are carried out alternately. First, The elderly who attend posyandu will have their weight checked. After that, Their blood pressure will also be checked by the doctor who has been assigned to the location.
Of course don't miss it, They will also be provided with consultation facilities for those who are in need and have certain complaints. All data related to the health of the elderly that has been obtained is recorded and well documented.
This activity will be carried out again in the following month according to the predetermined schedule. If you look at the current condition of the village, Of course this activity is considered very positive. Especially considering that Bulurejo hamlet itself is quite far from access to health facilities, both the Regional General Hospital and the Doko District Health Center.
By holding this activity regularly, Every elderly person has more control over their health condition every month. Likewise, those who have certain conditions or complaints can use this facility to consult with the general practitioner on duty.
Activities like this are also important to be held in various regions for elderly people. Of course, it is even more important if you remember that they are susceptible to certain health problems.
We as students really appreciate this routine activity and hope that in the future it will continue to be better. Not just toddlers, The health of the elderly in Bulurejo hamlet also receives attention through posyandu.
