Unisa Yogyakarta Community Service Students Activate Notoprajan Yogyakarta Health Center

The Pala 4 Toddler Health Center in Notoprajan Village, Ngampilan District, Yogyakarta City, resumed its services to the community on Friday (August 15, 2025). The event, which took place at the RW 04 Community Hall, recorded 100 percent participation, with 30 toddlers attending to receive health services.

This collaboration was strengthened by the presence of students from the University of ‘Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta’s Community Service Program (KKN), who assisted in running the posyandu. Their presence demonstrated the synergy between posyandu cadres, the community, and higher education institutions in improving children’s health.

“Unisa Yogyakarta KKN students played an active role, from checking children’s development to providing nutrition counseling to parents of toddlers,” said Khomisah, a Posyandu Pala 4 cadre.

During the event, all toddlers who attended also received vitamin A and Supplementary Feeding (PMT) aimed at boosting immunity and preventing malnutrition.

Field Supervisor (DPL) of Unisa Yogyakarta’s Community Service Program (KKN), Endang Koni Suryaningsih, Ph.D., said that the involvement of these students is a tangible manifestation of the university’s contribution to community empowerment.

“This activity not only provides learning experiences for students, but also becomes their tangible contribution to improving public health through the KKN program,” said Koni.

This initiative has received high praise from the local community. In addition to serving as a monitoring tool for children’s growth and development, the Posyandu also functions as a practical health education platform for parents. With 100% participation achieved, the Posyandu Balita Pala 4 Notoprajan is expected to continue as a model of an active and inspiring Posyandu in the Yogyakarta city area.
