This socialization activity featured three matters, namely 1) Socialization about infectious diseases in Papua, 2) Socialization about HIV and AIDS, and 3) Socialization about the use of plants as ingredients for herbal medicines. These three materials are related to personal health and how to get used to living using health protocols, considering that this activity was carried out during the COVID 19 pandemic. The target of the socialization activity was the women members of Wyk 4 GKI Getsemani Kotaraja.
