The results were obtained after the East Java Provincial Health Office held a competition entitled Best Implementer of Active Alert Village/Sub-district in 2017. The competition, which was held from August to September 2017, assessed several villages/sub-districts in East Java Province.
The final assessment results narrowed down to six village/sub-district nominees. The team from the East Java Provincial Health Office conducted a field assessment of the six nominees so that finally the winner was determined to receive the predicate of an active alert village/sub-district.
In addition to Sawojajar Village and Mangunharjo Village, at the village level several winners were determined, namely Dadapan Village, Pacitan Regency as winner I, Semen Village, Blitar Regency as winner II, Sidomulyo Village, Malang Regency as winner III, and Kraton Village, Kediri Regency as winner I.
The awarding of the certificates and prizes is planned to be held at the Grahadi Building, Surabaya on October 12, 2017, coinciding with the 72nd Anniversary of East Java Province. Head of the East Java Health Office, Kohar Hari Santoso, congratulated the winners for their success in creating alert villages/sub-districts.
"The achievement is the result of cooperation and support across sectors and related programs. Hopefully, the independence of the community in realizing the quality of independent villages/sub-districts will have an impact on the quality of health in the community," said Kohar, Monday (2/10).
Responding to this award, separately, Malang Mayor H. Moch. Anton greatly appreciated the efforts of Sawojajar Village and community cooperation.
"This award is certainly thanks to the cooperation of all parties, including the community and other stakeholders," said the man who is often called Abah Anton.
The government's efforts to improve the quality of public health, said Abah Anton, continue to be carried out by the relevant Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD). With this award, it is hoped that it can motivate other sub-districts to become alert sub-districts with the aim of improving the quality of health in the community.
