PESGGARAN-Health is the dream of all residents on this earth. The people of Kandangan Village are no exception, Kecamatan Pesanggaran. Various programs have been launched to meet health indicators, including a reduction in mortality, decrease in pain, improvement of nutritional status, basic sanitation improvements, clean and healthy lifestyle, as well as the distribution of health personnel that includes the accessibility of health services.
One of the programs is Desa Siaga. Desa Siaga is a condition in which a village is considered capable and willing to prevent and overcome health problems, disaster and daily emergencies independently in their territory.
