Semarang – There are 2015 Faculty of Public Health students from Diponegoro University carried out intervention activities from the Field Learning Practices program at the Jabungan Village Office, Semarang City, Sunday (03/31/19). The Field Learning Practice (PBL) is an opportunity for Undip FKM students to be able to apply the knowledge gained during the lecture process in the field directly specifically related to health problems in the area.

“Posbindu itself is important for the Jabungan community and we need it. We will shape it and follow up on this even though it certainly requires a long process in the future. “Said Fitri as the representative of the Jabungan Village FKK.
This intervention activity also received high enthusiasm from the community of Jabungan Village, this was seen from the enthusiasm of the people who participated in the activity from the beginning to the end of the intervention.
