The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that Indonesia is in the third position of the highest TB cases in the world and is a country that contributes 60% of all TB cases in the world.

Health care the spearhead in caring for patients, health workers are the front liners who serve the community, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic so that they provide assistance and health screening to the respiratory system which is in line with the efforts of the Healthy Community Movement program.
