Great Surabaya Cadres play an important role in achieving health programs in Surabaya, Indonesia.

Abstract

Surabaya as a metropolitan city is required to be able to provide health services that can reach the entire community. Therefore, the Surabaya city government empowers the community to play an active role in the health sector by forming the Great Surabaya Cadres (in Indonesian, KSH = Kader Surabaya Hebat). Great Surabaya Cadres have three tasks, which include data collection and updating of residents' health data; collaborating with health workers at the health center in implementing the integrated development place program (in Indonesian, Posbindu), integrated service place for toddlers (in Indonesian, Posyandu balita), and integrated service place for the elderly (in Indonesian, Posyandu lansia) and implementing the "Jumantik" program as an effort to control dengue fever. It can be concluded that Great Surabaya Cadres have an important role in supporting the achievement of health programs initiated by the government.
