Abstract

Pura Besakih located in Karangasem district, Bali is one of the largest Hindu worship sites and is considered a center of spirituality. The ceremony of Ida Bhatara Down Kabeh takes place on the tenth month of the Bali Calendar every year. Universitas Bali Internasional (UNBI) has launched a free medical check-up initiative targeting the religious leaders who lead the ceremonies and visitors to the temple who are Hindu during the ceremony. This activity is a real implementation that the UNBI routinely performs every year through Community Services. UNBI collaboration in Pura Besakih not only provides medical check-up but also builds inter-agency relationships and raises the understanding of how vital community health is. This community service activity is carried out through a collaboration between lecturers and undergraduate students of the Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Technology Study Program.
