Indonesia is vulnerable in handling health problems due to various situations such as limited health facilities, competent medical personnel, poor understanding of health and low discipline of healthy living among society, while the potential people who may be infected with the disease exceeds the ability to overcome it. Nowadays with the case of Covid-19 becomes a red signal for all of us, so that people should be more aware of the importance of health for themselves and others and it makes us learn that humans can not live alone and it is proven that the infection occurs globally as a pandemic.

Health challenges in Indonesia must be responded not only by those working in health but everyone is responsible for it, including students, so that Stube HEMAT Yogyakarta designed the Health Problems program in Indonesia to help students understand health problems in Indonesia with adequate information related to these health problems and having insight and knowledge how to solve them. The training was held online on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 so that students from various regions in Indonesia could participate, with the theme ‘Reality of Health Problems in Indonesia’ with Sukendri Siswanto, S.Pd.M.Kes, head of the Primary Health Division of CD Bethesda as the speaker. It is recorded that there are several student participants from Sumatra, Java, NTT, Maluku and Sulawesi.

Sukendri began the discussion by raising the question, why does the health of people at the past look better than the present? While the condition of the community, knowledge and health facilities today is more complete than the condition at the past.  Well, there are various factors that affect health, a health expert named H.L Blum mentioned that the health status of the public or individual is influenced by four main factors namely Environment, Behavior, Health Services and Genetics (Offspring). These four factors become a challenge in Indonesia especially geographically with thousands of islands so that the distribution of health facilities is not evenly distributed for each sub-district, such as health center services and general practitioners. Another challenge is the need to increase public awareness to behave in a healthy life, such as the availability of clean water, toilet facilities and household sanitation. Other topics include the importance of adequate nutrition and nutrition, including exclusive breast milk for infants, as well as complementary breast milk foods to support their growth.

The discussion opened students' mind to the reality of health problems in Indonesia, even though it is only on the surface, students will do further steps by having groups according to their home region and mapping  health problems that occur in their respective regions. From the findings, students will be accompanied to analyze health problems, as well as to bring up ideas or actions that can be done as the response to the problems.***
