Sidoarjo – The Integrated Community Service Program (KKN T) Group 24 of Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo (Umsida) initiated the Healthy and National Health Insurance Aware Program (SEHATI) in Mindugading Village, Tarik District, Sidoarjo Regency, on Saturday (11/7/2026). This activity aims to increase rural community awareness regarding the importance of maintaining physical health while maximizing the use of government health insurance programs.
This social initiative was carried out through a strategic collaboration among Umsida students, Emma Hospital (RS Emma) Mojokerto, Tarik District Public Health Center (Puskesmas), and local village midwives. In addition to providing free medical check-up services, the program also featured a National Health Insurance (JKN) Corner as an information center for residents.
The Head of KKN T Group 24 Umsida, Anam, explained that the involvement of various parties is expected to establish new partnership networks for local health facilities. The synergy between RS Emma Mojokerto, public health center staff, and village midwives is expected to strengthen the referral system and medical care for residents in the future.
Furthermore, Anam emphasized that the SEHATI program was also designed to dispel negative public perceptions that hospital treatment costs are always expensive. Through the JKN Corner, residents received detailed education regarding administrative procedures, membership rights, and practical guides on using the Mobile JKN application.
During the event, residents received free blood pressure and blood sugar level checks from the medical team of RS Emma Mojokerto. Community enthusiasm was remarkably high, as felt by Rohmatun (63), a local resident who welcomed this free early health detection to promptly address her medical complaints.
Similar appreciation was expressed by the Head of Mindugading Village. The village government considers this student initiative to be immensely helpful to residents, especially the elderly who require access to regular health monitoring, and hopes that health insurance education like this can be conducted on a continuous basis.
