Singaraja –The Month of Service is a form of community service carried out for a whole month, where this activity takes the form of educating the public about health. As medical students, of course, we should be at the forefront in educating the public about the importance of health. The 2021 Bali Regional Month of Service has the theme “Non-Communicable Diseases”. This theme was raised because the pandemic situation which has not yet ended in 2021 has in fact made people only focus on COVID-19 even though there are still many diseases that require action from medical personnel, especially non-communicable diseases. The types of non-communicable diseases highlighted in this year’s month of service are “Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus”.
