The Elderly Posyandu Staffed in Turns by BWKS Nakes Nurses
At a neighbourhood hall on Malang's edge, the blood pressure and blood sugar of dozens of elderly residents are checked every month. The ones on duty are not permanent staff but BWKS Nakes alumni nurses taking turns.
They arrange the roster themselves over a group chat, making sure no month goes uncovered. Beyond the check-ups, they sit and chat, something the elders often need even more.
From this small habit, a once-quiet posyandu has become a place awaited each month.
