If you look at the infrastructure side, The Sempu Health Center is the smallest compared to the other four magnificent nominees. even so, The Sempu Health Center has innovative programs that are powerful and not owned by other health centers, one of which is by initiating and promoting the Stop Maternal and Child Mortality Rate program. (Sakina). This program has proven effective. Because, With this program the death rate can be prevented.
Even, since the program was launched, in the Sempu area there has never been a case of death that befell a mother and child during the delivery process. This idea was motivated by the relatively high mortality rate that befell mothers and children in the Sempu area during childbirth. For example, in the year 2013 then, frequency of deaths reached 12 consisting of 9 child and 3 mother. Addressing that problem, the Sakina program was formed, specifically 27 January 2014 then.
This program has dozens of personnel called Laskar Sakina. Interesting, Sakina's paramilitary members are spread under the Sempu Health Center area which consists of three villages, namely Sempu, Tegal alumni, and Jambewangi. Laskar Sakina conducted field data collection on maternal health, especially for pregnant women who are at high risk. For example, have high blood pressure, underage mother 20 years and over age 35 year. Sakina's army moves, the number of mothers who have a high risk turned out to be quite a lot.
Counted from January to July of the year 2014 this, there is 95 high-risk mothers. As much 22 some of them have given birth safely thanks to the companionship of Laskar Sakina.

The head of Laskar Sakina is the PKK head of Sempu District who is assisted by three representatives from each PKK head in Sempu Village, Jembewangi and Tegalarum.
So far, Laskar Sakina provides assistance to mothers who are at high risk. With that assistance at least can predict the time of delivery. That is why, Laskar Sakina can be swift in dealing with mothers who give birth safely from death threats. Recently, there are pregnant women with petite bodies. This one mother lives in the pine forest area of Seling area, Jambewangi Village. However, thanks to Laskar Sakina, mother and child are safe from the risk of death during childbirth.
Another breakthrough that has made the Sempu Health Center a plus is the Jihad Against HIV/AIDS program (Jimad). This program is outreach to the community about the spread of HIV/AIDS. Jimad has officers called Duta Jimad. So far, Duta Jimad played a role in closing the Klopoan brothel, Gendoh Village, Sempu Kecamatan District.
