Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health problem in Indonesia, particularly in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) where overcrowding and low awareness increase transmission risks. This community engagement aimed to improve knowledge, early detection, and reduce TB stigma at SMA Dar El Iman Islamic Boarding School, Padang. A participatory approach was conducted from July to September 2025 involving 34 female students. Activities included health education, student cadre formation through the Red Cross Youth (PMR), TB symptom screening, and anti-stigma campaigns. Results showed students’ knowledge improved from 45% to 90%, five student cadres were established as peer educators, and three suspected TB cases were referred to health facilities. Evaluation indicated increased awareness of dormitory hygiene, ventilation, and peer support. This program highlights pesantren as a strategic platform for TB prevention and early detection. In conclusion, school-based TB education and screening effectively enhance students’ capacity and support the national TB elimination target by 2030.

Integrated Health Service Posts (Posyandu) are a means for active community participation in the health sector. Through Posyandu, the role of cadres as the spearhead of environmental health is crucial, especially in educating the community regarding prevention efforts and early detection of various infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). Bekasi City is experiencing an increase in TB cases, so it is necessary to strengthen the capacity of Posyandu cadres to be more responsive and empowered in dealing with this situation. This community service program aims to improve the knowledge and skills of Posyandu cadres in early detection and prevention of TB. The activity was carried out at Posyandu Bangau, West Bekasi, involving 22 active cadres. The implementation method used a participatory and interactive approach, through health education that emphasized the identification of TB symptoms, transmission methods, and community-based prevention strategies. Evaluations were conducted before and after the education to measure the effectiveness of the activity. The evaluation results showed an 80% increase in cadre knowledge after attending the education. This achievement demonstrates that the delivery of accurate and communicative information is very effective in increasing Posyandu cadre awareness. Capacity building for cadres is not only crucial as an initial step in TB prevention, but also as a sustainable effort to build collective community awareness. With the active involvement of cadres and support from health workers, TB risk detection and prevention can be carried out more optimally and comprehensively.

Tuberculosis (TB) is the ninth leading cause of death worldwide, surpassing HIV/AIDS. In 2016, TB-related deaths among HIV-negative individuals reached 1.3 million, while deaths among those with HIV-TB co-infection totaled 374,000. Indonesia ranks among the top five countries with the highest TB burden, accounting for approximately 5.8% of global TB cases. The TB prevalence rate in Indonesia in 2016 was 391 per 100,000 population, with nearly half of the cases occurring among women of reproductive age. It is estimated that 1–3% of pregnant women have TB, and some are also co-infected with HIV. The national target for TB elimination by 2030 is to reduce incidence to 65 per 10,000 population and mortality to 6 per 100,000 population.
