Abstract

Background: Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) remain a public health concern in Indonesia. Several prioritized NTDs include filariasis, soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH), schistosomiasis, leprosy, rabies, and yaws. STH infections are among the neglected tropical diseases posing significant public health problems, particularly in areas with poor sanitation and low health awareness. School-aged children (5-14 years) are especially vulnerable to worm infections including Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, and Ancylostoma duodenale due to various adverse effects including anemia, malnutrition, stunted growth, and decreased concentration in learning. Methods: A comprehensive evaluation of the deworming program is conducted to determine its effectiveness, identify existing obstacles, and formulate more targeted improvement strategies. The evaluation is based on four building blocks: input, process, output and outcome, using a mixed descriptive approach with questionnaires for interviews and direct observation. Results: The program officer has an educational background in three-year Diploma of Midwifery with 15 years of work experience. Although not officially appointed, field activities are supported by personnel from Environmental Health, Health Promotion, and other Public Health divisions. There is no official technical guideline for implementation; information from the Health Office has only been communicated via WhatsApp messages. Instructional materials are clear, but school cooperation is essential in reminding students and parents to ensure medication is taken. Conclusion: The helminthiasis control program at Puskesmas Simpang IV Sipin has been fairly well-executed according to technical guideline criteria, though specific training should be provided to enhance program manager capacity and performance.
