The main objectives of this initial dissemination were to establish a shared understanding, increase active community participation, and address various priority health problems in RW 07. As a tangible form of support for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the area of health and well-being, this activity was designed to improve community health literacy, strengthen the role of health cadres, and establish community independence in maintaining a sustainable quality of life. These efforts were reinforced by integrating healthcare services for older adults with Community Health Center programs and implementing a door-to-door approach in each RT to ensure that all segments of the community could benefit equally.
