Sidoarjo – Friday (25/08/2023) in a limited face-to-face visit area, 2 Sidoarjo prison health workers this morning provided counseling about the dangers of tuberculosis. The counseling participants this time were elderly inmates, totaling 11 people. On this occasion dr. Iin who gave material about the dangers of tuberculosis, especially at an age that is no longer young. The elderly here are equipped with the knowledge that living by continuing to maintain cleanliness and regular exercise is one way to prevent TB transmission.
“TBC transmission can indeed be through the air, but if we still routinely maintain cleanliness and exercise, our immunity will also be able to anticipate this, at least if we can’t exercise regularly, try to bask in the sun regularly,” said dr. Iin. In addition to providing health education, the elderly here are also given the opportunity to consult about their current state of health. They get blood pressure checks and get medicine if their pain complaints are severe enough.
It should be noted that the Sidoarjo Prison health counseling activities are routinely carried out every week, sometimes even up to 2 times a week. The health workers also often go door to door to the rooms of the inmates to provide direct counseling. And regarding the target of counseling, it is usually the elderly and children who are prioritized first, because they are considered the most vulnerable in terms of disease transmission in prisons. Consistency in providing maximum health services is clear evidence of the Sidoarjo Correctional Institution in providing the rights possessed by inmates.
