Abstract

Health problems can be caused by the emergence of diseases in the human body as a result of bad
daily life habits or can also be caused by hereditary diseases (genes). One type of disease that is
commonly experienced by people in Indonesia is high blood pressure and diabetes. The lack of
awareness to maintain the health of the people who live in rural areas is one of the factors causing
the high number of sufferers of both types of disease every year. The purpose of this activity is to
provide education in the form of efforts to increase public awareness of hypertension and diabetes
mellitus as well as health services for the community in the form of checking blood pressure and
diabetes mellitus. The method in this activity is in the form of a lecture method followed by direct
activities in the form of health services to the community. From this activity, it was found that the
community seemed enthusiastic about attending this activity and happy with the services provided, for
that it is hoped that the people in Desa Silau Dunia can increase their concern for health through the
activities that have been carried out.
