Sahaja Health Stand: Free Health Services at the Lantip Gathering
On November 17, 2024, the Sahaja Dharma Sejahtera Foundation attended a gathering organized by the Bali branch of the Active Elderly Care Organization (Lantip) at Big Garden Corner, Bali. This event was part of Lantip’s annual gathering aimed at strengthening relationships among its members while giving special attention to the health of older people.
During the event, the Sahaja Foundation provided a free health stand for Lantip members. The health services offered included blood pressure checks to monitor heart and vascular conditions, blood sugar tests for early detection of diabetes risk, cholesterol checks to assess metabolic health and prevent chronic diseases, and uric acid tests to monitor uric acid levels related to joint pain and overall physical health.
The health services were carried out by the experienced medical team of Sahaja, who also provided brief education on the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent diseases commonly experienced in old age.
This warm and welcoming event received positive feedback from the participants. The older people expressed their joy and gratitude for the attention and support provided by the Sahaja Foundation. One Lantip member shared, “We feel very helped by this service. Health checkups like these are very important for us in our advanced age.”
The collaboration between the Sahaja Foundation and Lantip Bali reflects a shared concern for the well-being of older people in Bali. Through this event, it is hoped that older people will not only become more aware of the importance of maintaining their health but also live more actively and happily.
