Anti-Tuberculosis Movement (GETUK) as an Effort to Prevent Tuberculosis Disease in Cileles Village, Labuan Village, Serang Regency in 2024

Abstract

The Anti Tuberculosis Movement (GETUK) is an initiative carried out by the Public Health Study Program of Universitas Faletehan to enhance community understanding of Tuberculosis (TB) in Cileles Village, Labuan District, Mancak. This activity took place on July, 13, 2024, involving 20 community members who attended the counselling session. The methods used included pre-tests, presentation, question and answer session, and post test to evaluate the participants’ understanding. The results indicated that many community members still lack knowledge about the symptoms and causes of TB, highlighting the need for more intensive education. Through collaboration with Puskesmas Mancak, this program aims to reduce the transmission rate of TB and improve the overall well-being of the community.
