The Puskesmas AI platform will be instrumental in improving the knowledge and capabilities of our healthcare professionals, ultimately benefiting the health of our community. By addressing critical health issues such as Tuberculosis, Stunting, and Hypertension, we can make significant strides in improving public health in Sumedang.”

The Puskesmas AI platform (with local name TehAI) is expected to have a significant impact on healthcare in Sumedang.

A nurse from Puskesmas Sumedang, who has benefited from the program, shared her experience: “The Puskesmas AI platform TehAI has significantly enhanced our ability to address critical health issues.
