As to serving in communities, 149 STIKes Muhammadiyah Ciamis students participated in a briefing to start their service. STIKes Muh Ciamis also held a ceremony to release the students at the Ciamis Regent’s Hall. The students will carry out the community service program from Monday (2/1) to Saturday (14/1). They consisted of 4th-year Bachelor students of the Nursing Study Program, 3rd-year students of the Midwifery D-III Study Program, and 3rd Diploma students of the Health Analyst Study Program. The Ciamis Regent, H Herdiat Sunarya as the inspector of the ceremony expressed his appreciation to the management of STIKes Muh Ciamis.

“Thank you for the trust in Selacai village in Cipaku District, Ciamis, which is the location of the 2022/2023 community service program,” he said. He also expressed his hope that the students could mingle and assist the community. One of the first steps was to coordinate with village officials and use their knowledge in the community. Herdiat Sunarya continued that this community service could be a moment to transform material by lecturers in classes.

On the other hand, the Ciamis Health Office has received many awards, especially for the awareness and cohesiveness of the leaders in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. Even so, there may be a health security program. It means that the students have the challenge to implement their work programs. “Hopefully, you will adapt to the community well. The energy and thoughts of assistance, both in the health and community development, are of course what they really need,” he concluded on Monday (2/1).
