JAKARTA - The Population and Family Planning Health Service (Dinkes PPKB) of Madiun City, East Java, continues to strengthen efforts to find new cases of tuberculosis (TB). This aggressive step is part of the commitment of the local government to succeed in the TB Elimination target in 2030.
The Head of the PPKB Health Office of Madiun City, Denik Wuryani, emphasized that early detection is the key to breaking the chain of transmission in the community.
"Our target is to find more than 1,000 TB cases every year through health service facilities in the City of Madiun. The sooner it is found, the sooner the treatment is carried out," said Denik in Madiun, Thursday (26/3).
To achieve this target, the Madiun Health Office relies on the "Gerebek TBC" program at the village level. This program involves synergy between Puskesmas officers and Primary Service Integration Posyandu (ILP) cadres to carry out direct tracking of residential areas.
In addition to field action, the public is also encouraged to proactively conduct self-screening digitally through the E-Tibi application owned by the East Java Health Office. Through this page, residents can fill out health histories related to TB symptoms, such as coughing for more than two weeks or a history of contact with sufferers, to get further medical guidance.
Based on the latest data, the graph of TB case discovery in Madiun City shows a fairly high trend in the last three years:
2024: 1,268 cases were found.
2025: Increased to 1,281 cases.
Early 2026: It is recorded that there have been 158 new case findings.
Secara akumulatif, terdapat 2.707 temuan kasus dalam tiga tahun terakhir. Menariknya, data menunjukkan bahwa hampir separuh dari pasien yang terdata merupakan warga luar kota yang memilih melakukan pengobatan di fasilitas kesehatan Kota Madiun. Hal ini mengukuhkan posisi Kota Madiun sebagai rujukan layanan kesehatan yang dipercaya di wilayah sekitar.
The government appeals to all patients who are detected to undergo treatment regularly and thoroughly, for at least six consecutive months. Consistency in treatment is crucial to prevent drug resistance and ensure total recovery.
All TB examination and medicine services can be accessed for free at all Puskesmas in Madiun City. Through massive early detection and thorough treatment, Madiun City is optimistic that it can create an environment free from the threat of TB in the future.
