As a form of the company's social and environmental responsibility (TJSL) in improving health in adolescents, Kimia Farma Group provides education to high school students regarding the handling of anemia in adolescence. The program entitled "Kimia Farma Group Mengajar" was carried out simultaneously in 53 high school schools on August 19, 2024. This activity is Kimia Farma's commitment as a healthcare company to make a positive contribution to public health, including health in adolescence.
Kimia Farma Group Mengajar is a series of activities to commemorate the 53rd Anniversary of PT Kimia Farma Tbk. Since 2018, Kimia Farma Group Mengajar has provided health education to 20,000 students with more than 200 schools in Indonesia. This program has been successful every year, where in 2024 the Company provided education to 5,300 students in 53 schools.
Through the collaboration between Kimia Farma and its subsidiaries, Kimia Farma Group Mengajar 2024 involves the Board of Directors of Kimia Farma Group and 530 volunteer teachers from employees including doctors, pharmacists, nurses and midwives. This activity is a form of employee engagement between the company and employees to increase employee concern for the health of the nation's next generation.
The learning topics provided include motivation to achieve future plans and prevention of anemia in adolescence. Kimia Farma Group Mengajar 2024 aims to inspire and motivate students, to create skills that can encourage the realization of ideals. On the same occasion, Kimia Farma volunteers also provided education on preventing anemia as a form of Kimia Farma's concern for cases of anemia in adolescent girls.
Anemia can have an impact on health, affect achievement at school, and later be at risk of anemia when becoming a pregnant woman. As a pregnant woman who will give birth to the nation's next child, provisions are needed to support the healthy growth and development phase to avoid anemia. The Company also provides assistance in the form of blood-boosting tablets, educational facilities, and medicines and medical devices at the School Health Service (UKS).
It is hoped that Kimia Farma Group Mengajar can continue in the years to come, and provide motivation and education to students that health is one of the important keys to being able to undergo education to achieve success in the future.
