Two sessions were conducted on June 20, 2024, and July 12, 2024, with approximately 20 participants attending each meeting. Attendees represented a broad spectrum of backgrounds, including village leaders, healthcare professionals, health cadre volunteers, patients, students, and members of the general public.

Activities Overview:
This program is designed to enhance health literacy within communities by disseminating Plain Language Summaries (PLS) of advanced scientific evidence, translated into straightforward Indonesian. The initiative targets village stakeholders, healthcare providers, health cadre volunteers, patients, students, and the general public, ensuring access to comprehensible health information that fosters informed decision-making, counters misinformation, and encourages positive health behaviors. As part of the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing at UGM’s community service efforts, this program aligns with Indonesia’s national health literacy objectives, addressing critical gaps in both digital and health literacy.
