Purwomartani Village is one of the Yogyakarta areas that have health problems with various comorbidities. The incidence of comorbidities in Indonesia is quite high, one of which is in Padukuhan Kadisoka, Purwomartani Village. The majority of people with comorbidities do not realize that they have years of risks and dangers if they are not controlled properly, and this can even increase the risk of death.
