She ensured that the Health Center or Puskesmas as a facilitator for the detection of various diseases, including breast and cervical cancer, had run its services well.

"We'd checked this health center has opened cancer service, as this disease is one of 14 types of diseases for which the Health Ministry has allocated a budget for checks," she explained.

On the other hand, the city administration must intensify socialization and early detection education for cancer risk prevention in various educational facilities.

"Dinkes can collaborate with foundations or other institutions in providing free health check-up services," she stated.
