Health services, including physiotherapy services, are carried out in almost all health care facilities such as clinics, health centers, and hospitals. Physiotherapy services are one form of health services needed by the community. In order to provide physiotherapy services, physiotherapists can provide various types of modalities or physiotherapy services in the form of electro therapy, actino therapy, hydro therapy, manual therapy or exercise therapy. Almost all health care facilities in South Kalimantan have physiotherapy services, but there is no data on the number and types of physiotherapy services used by health care facilities in the South Kalimantan region. This study aims to determine the types of physiotherapy services that are widely used by health care facilities in South Kalimantan. This study uses a descriptive approach. Based on the results of the study, it was found that 35 respondents (67.3%) used electrotherapy very often and 30 respondents (57.7%) used actino therapy very often. These two types of physiotherapy services are the most widely used by health care facilities in the South Kalimantan region in 2020

Introduction Inadequate biomedical waste management not only poses significant risk of infection due to pathogens such as HIV and Hepatitis B and C virus but also carries the risk of water, air, and soil pollution thereby adversely affecting the environment and community at large. Therefore, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare commissioned implementation of an Infection Management and Environment Plan (IMEP) in health-care facilities. Hence, this study is undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice, and gaps in implementing the biomedical waste management practices at the primary health-care facilities. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the Primary Health Centers of Hassan District. Details of knowledge, attitude, and practice of biomedical waste management were collected through observation, staff interview, and record review on the predesigned questionnaire. A score of 0, 1, and 2 was given for noncompliant (0), partially compliant (1), and fully compliant (2), respectively, based on the compliance. A scoring system was devised to evaluate the effectiveness of training as good, average, and poor. A score of >70 was considered as good, 50 to 70 as average, and <50 as poor. Results The mean efficacy score was 63; knowledge was good with a score of 74, attitude was average with a score of 63, and practice was also average with a score of 54. Conclusion There is a need for retraining of all the staff and strict supportive supervision by the district health authorities to ease the implementation requirements.

Covid-19 pandemic has become a global problem that has an impact on almost all levels of society, both those with income and no income. Recommendations regarding the use of masks in the community, during home care, and in health care facilities in areas need to be mobilized massively. Current information indicates that the two main modes of transmission of the COVID-19 virus are respiratory droplets and contact. The use of masks has become a culture in life and daily activities so that the need for masks has increased. Therefore, it is necessary to have a stock of masks that are clean and of good type of cloth as prevention and first aid when doing activities outside the home. The condition of the residents in Penfui Village shows that not all are able to provide a large stock of masks for at least 1 house / small family. This situation prompted the Community Service team from the Faculty of Medicine (FK) Undana to provide training in making cloth masks for the community in East Penfui Village.

Irrational use of antibiotics is the key contributor to antibiotic resistance. To improve the administration of antibiotics, many programs have been designed at national and international levels; and antibiotic stewardship (ABS) is one of them.The aim of this study was to create awareness and understanding of antibiotic stewardship by estimating its knowledge, attitude and practice (K.A.P) among health care professionals in health care facilities across Gujarat. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among health care professionals in health care facilities across Gujarat. For which a self-administered questionnaire with 15 closed-ended questions with two sections: “Optimal antibiotic use” (no.1-7 questions); and “Responsible antibiotic use” (no.8-15 questions) was disseminated online/ in electronic form. In Dental practitioners, mean scores of knowledge, attitude, practice (K.A.P) regarding “Optimal antibiotic use” and “Responsible antibiotic use” are 6.3682 ± 0.96, 6.2139 ± 1.07, 4.5672 ± 1.51 and 7.1692 ± 1.09, 6.9104 ± 1.25, 5.1443 ± 1.81 respectively.In Medical practitioners, mean scores of knowledge, attitude, practice (K.A.P) regarding “Optimal antibiotic use” and “Responsible antibiotic use” are 6.8201 ± 0.41, 6.7090 ± 0.56, 5.1270 ± 1.62 and 7.6032 ± 0.69, 7.4233 ± 0.82, 5.3492 ± 1.94 respectively.Between the groups, knowledge and attitude regarding “Optimal antibiotic use” and “Responsible antibiotic use” are statistically highly significant (p-value = &#60;0.001). Health care professionals showed higher knowledge as compared to attitude with least practice (K&#62;A&#62;P) regarding antibiotic stewardship in health care facilities across Gujarat. Antibiotic stewardship is fulcrum for the dual face of antibiotics. Equilibrium between individual and societal benefit/risk ratio while making clinical antibiotic decisions will benefit both; individual patients as well as the community.

Introduction: There is limited evidence on factors associated with access to health primary health care services in users of marginal urban areas of Lima, Peru. Objective: To determine factors associated with access to primary health care services in Lima, Peru. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional study in users treated at seven primary health care facilities in a marginal urban area of Lima, Peru in 2019. A questionnaire was used to measure accessibility to health services; demographic and socioeconomic factors and characteristics of health services were investigated as well. Simple and multiple regression analyses were performed, estimating prevalence ratios. Results: Out of a total of 150 participants, 85.2% had access to health services. Female gender was positively associated with access to health services (aPR:1.17, 95% CI:1.11-1.23). Secondary education (aPR:0.65, 95% CI:0.44-0.98) and higher technical education or armed forces (aPR:0.64, 95%CI:0.46-0.89) were negatively associated with access to health services. On the other hand, we found that waiting time for care reduces the possibility of accessing health care; in case wait time is more than 30 minutes (aPR:0.83, 95% CI: 0.77-0.95), more than one hour (RPa:0.85, CI95%:0.75-0.95) and more than two hours (RPa:0.84, CI95%:0.75-0.93). Conclusions: The majority of users treated at the Primary Health Care facilities had access to health services. Having a higher educational level and reporting a longer waiting time for care were associated with a lower frequency of accessibility, while being a woman was associated with a higher frequency of accessibility. Key words: Health services, primary health care, health services accessibility, delivery of health care, public health.
