SDG 3: Kehidupan Sehat dan Sejahtera

FMIPA UGM rutin gelar senam dan pelayanan kesehatan dalam rangka mendorong kesadaran kesehatan baik bagi pegawai, dosen, atau mahasiswa di halaman Gedung FMIPA UGM. Agenda dimulai dengan senam pagi dan dilanjutkan dengan pengecekan kesehatan. Pada kegiatan kali ini, Jum’at 31 Mei 2024, terdapat lonjakan cukup banyak pasien baru yang mendaftar di pos pengecekan kesehatan.

“Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah meningkatkan kesadaran bagi pegawai, dosen, dan mahasiswa di FMIPA UGM. Jangan sampai ketika masuk ke sini mereka sehat tetapi ketika keluar dari sini mereka justru sakit-sakitan,” kata Dr. Chotimah, M.Si., selaku petugas kesehatan di FMIPA UGM. Dr. Chotimah juga menyampaikan bahwa terdapat lonjakan yang cukup banyak dari para mahasiswa yang tertarik mengecek kesehatan mereka.

“90% pasien yang mendaftar dan memeriksakan dirinya adalah mahasiswa. Kalau mahasiswa kebanyakan mengalami tensi tinggi sedangkan kalau dosen dan tendik mengalami asam urat,” papar Dr. Chotimah.

Antusiasme dari peserta kegiatan terlihat dari antrean panjang yang menunggu giliran dalam pengecekan kesehatan. Jenis pengecekan yang dilakukan meliputi indeks massa tubuh, tekanan darah, kadar gula, asam urat, dan kolestrol. Salah satu pasien mengungkapkan rasa kagetnya ketika mengetahui nilai asam urat yang terdapat pada tubuhnya.

Kegiatan senam dan pengecekan kesehatan ini berpeluang dalam meningkatkan kesadaran terhadap penyakit tidak menular seperti tekanan darah tinggi dan obesitas sehingga merupakan wujud nyata dari poin 3 SDGs di bidang Kehidupan Sehat dan Sejahtera. Selain itu, kegiatan tersebut turut berkontribusi dalam jaminan pelayanan kesehatan bagi masyarakat kampus untuk dapat melakukan pencegahan atau deteksi dini penyakit yang berisiko. Harapannya, kegiatan ini akan terus mendorong kesadaran kesehatan di lingkungan FMIPA UGM sehingga tercipta kondisi kampus yang sehat.

DWP FMIPA UGM organized a blood donation drive to increase the quantity of bloodstock in Yogyakarta. Collaborating with Sardjito Hospital, the blood donation event took place in the courtyard of the FMIPA UGM Building on Wednesday, Feb 28^th, 2024. Blood donors included the general public, thus not limited only to faculty members, staff, and students of FMIPA UGM.

“Many hospitals still need blood donations. The hope is that it can be beneficial for those in need,” said Nurun Djamilatun, Chairperson of DWP FMIPA UGM.

The enthusiasm of the blood donors was evident from the long queues waiting for their turn to undergo eligibility checks for blood collection. The types of checks conducted included blood pressure and hemoglobin levels. Nurun also mentioned that the blood screening was expected to raise awareness about maintaining bodily health.

“Some individuals didn’t pass the blood condition screening due to low hemoglobin levels, so we also encourage them to maintain their health by paying attention to their blood levels. With this, they can donate blood at another time,” said Nurun.

This blood donation activity has the potential to increase awareness of non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure, which is a tangible manifestation of SDGs point 3 in the field of Healthy and Prosperous Life. Additionally, the activity contributes to ensuring healthcare services for the campus community to prevent or detect diseases that pose risks to donors and to increase the quantity of bloodstock for the community. This activity will continue to promote health and social awareness within the FMIPA UGM environment.

Exercise at FMIPA UGM

FMIPA UGM routinely conducts exercise and health services to promote health awareness among employees, lecturers, and students at the FMIPA UGM Building’s courtyard on Friday, Feb 23^rd, 2024. The agenda is held every last Friday of each month through Posbindu PTM (Pos Pembinaan Terpadu Penyakit Tidak Menular/Integrated Non-Communicable Disease Counseling Post). The agenda starts with morning exercise followed by health check-ups.

“This activity aims to increase awareness among employees, lecturers, and students at FMIPA UGM. We don’t want them to be healthy when they enter here but become ill when they leave,” said Dr. Chotimah, M.Si., the health officer at FMIPA UGM.

The participants’ enthusiasm is evident from the long queues waiting for their turn in health check-ups. The checks conducted include body mass index, blood pressure, glucose levels, uric acid, and cholesterol. One employee expressed surprise upon learning about the cholesterol levels in their body.

“I was quite surprised to know the cholesterol level in my body. Is it because I’ve recently consumed a lot of seafood?” said Shafa, one of the employees at FMIPA UGM.

Exercise and health check-up activities can potentially increase awareness of non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure and obesity, thus representing a tangible manifestation of SDGs point 3 in the field of Healthy and Prosperous Life. Additionally, these activities contribute to ensuring health services for the campus community to engage in the prevention or early detection of risky diseases. The hope is that this activity will continue to promote health awareness in the FMIPA UGM environment, thereby creating a healthy campus condition.
