Through this program, there will be nurses who come to schools to educate students about health.

"This program is one of the steps in realizing the partnership mission with local government officials, especially the Health Service and the Education Office," said the Head of the DPD PPNI Bandung City, Ganjar Wisnu Budiman at the launch of the One Nurse One School program, at the Bandung City Hall, Thursday, March 16 2023.

He said health problems in adolescents require comprehensive and integrated treatment with a broad scope. Because the problems faced by adolescents are increasingly complex.

"So the involvement of all elements is one of the keys that will support the achievement of the program planned by the government," he said.

He stated, his party has a vision of becoming a professional organization that excels, works, partners and socially has designed the One Noh program as one of the steps in realizing the mission of the partnership.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Bandung City Health Service, Anhar Hadian hopes that the presence of nurses at schools can educate about nutrition and healthy food.

"This is the concern of the Bandung City Government. Efforts to foster PHBS (Clean and Healthy Living Behavior) must be implemented from an early age," he said.

No less important, he continued, is the presence of nurses in schools. This will allow early detection of children's mental health conditions.

"With nurses in schools who know more medically, of course this mental health problem can be identified more quickly," he explained.

Meanwhile, the Principal of Cendikia Muda Middle School, Febrie Maulina, felt that this program was helpful. Because the implementation of this program is very high quality, it is also beneficial for students and even teachers.

"The number of our students is 200 students, with the presence of this program we can monitor students both physically and mentally," he said.

"Each semester we do have periodic fitness and health tests. But with the existence of One Nurse One School, the implementation is even more optimal," he explained. (yan)**
