Program Kesihatan Sekolah Angkat by UPM was implemented at SKJC Kalumpang, Kerling, and Rasa, encompassing three educational modules: the self-care module, the dengue module, and the nutrition module. Through the self-care module, students were introduced to ways of maintaining personal hygiene to avoid issues such as lice infestations and parasitic worms. Meanwhile, the dengue module educated students on identifying the characteristics of Aedes mosquitoes, their breeding sites, and the diseases they transmit. The nutrition module taught students the importance of balanced nutrition, as recommended by the food pyramid, to prevent health problems.
This program was well-received by the school, providing valuable knowledge to the students. With the success of this initiative, it is hoped that the program can be continued in the future.
