Medan - FKM USU: The Community Service Team of Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) conducted a community service activity at SMA Negeri 1 Binjai, Langkat Regency, on Thursday (14 July 2022). In accordance with the title of the community service, "Anemia Prevention Efforts by Forming a PATEN (Paham Terhadap Anemia) Youth Groups," the community service's target is teenage girls. The community service was conducted by three FKM USU lecturers: Ecia Meilonna Koka, S.K.M., M.Kes., Ernawati Nasution, S.K.M., M.Kes., Fitri Ardiani, S.K.M., M.P.H., one lecturer from the Faculty of Nursing USU, Dina Rasmita, S.Kep, Ns., M.Kep, and four students from the Undergraduate Program in Public Health of FKM USU. Present at the event were the Principal of SMA Negeri 1 Binjai, Azmar, S.Pd., accompanied by the Vice Principal for Student Affairs, Nur Utami Wanti, S.Pd. The community service began with education on anemia, early detection practices through physical examination, and measuring hemoglobin levels using a digital Hemoglobin (Hb) measuring device. In addition, the team trained adolescent girls to assess nutritional status through anthropometric measurements such as Body Mass Index (BMI) and Upper Arm Circumference (UAC). The community service team also provided anemia prevention pocketbooks, posters, anthropometric measuring tools, and digital hemoglobin measuring devices to the school so that early detection of anemia and its prevention can continue to be practiced. The school welcomed the community service initiative from USU. The Principal, Azmar, hopes that the knowledge and skills gained by the students about anemia can be applied in daily life and shared with their surrounding communities.
