Focus and Scope

Indonesian people, especially in the Maluku Islands, face unique challenges in accessing quality health services due to a lack of health service providers, skills gaps, and limited access to resources. Community service is carried out wherever possible to overcome these challenges starting from within the learning environment of biomedicine, clinical medicine and other health professions. Community service carried out by academics is as relevant as possible to research carried out as a higher education community, empowering as many levels of society as possible and being a solution in helping people face health challenges and increasing access and quality of health facilities in Indonesia in the archipelagic region to equate their efficacy with health facilities in Indonesian urban communities.Kalesang, in Ambonese Malay, means to organize or care for.
