Malaria remains a public health problem in Indonesia, particularly Papua. Various efforts have been made to reduce cases, one of which is the formation of malaria control units in villages. The purpose of this non-commercial service is to improve your knowledge and skills in using health promotion media in the form of Papua Malaria Flipchart. Methods used strengthen village malaria cadres by expanding their knowledge on malaria, training them on the use of the Papua Malaria Flipchart health promotion media, and advising communities through village malaria cadres. That was it. The target group for community service is 12 village malaria cadres and her 3 malaria representatives. This activity was conducted in the East Sentani District, the working area of the Harapan Health Center. Evaluation of this non-profit activity is pre- and post-testing of educational materials and community interviews in consultation with village malaria cadres. An indicator of the success of this activity was the increased knowledge and skills of village malaria cadres who used the Papua Emic Malaria Flipchart media to provide counseling. The results of this service show that the village malaria cadres improved their knowledge of malaria and their skills in using the Papua Malaria Flipchart during counseling. It was concluded that the results of the service increased the malaria knowledge and skills of malaria workers and the use of the Papua Malaria Flipchart.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to describe health problems, one of the problem can be described is malaria. Malaria is still a major health problem for people in Papua. Papua Annual Parasite Incidence (API) is the highest in Indonesia (Kemenkes RI, 2017). This study aims to describe the spatial distribution of larval habitat, adult mosquito density, and the distribution of malaria patients in January-April 2019 in Kiren Village, Bonggo District. The results showed that there were 29 positive habitats of Anopheles sp larvae, consisting of puddles (69.0%), sago marsh (3.4%), artificial ponds (13.8%), and gutters (13, 8%), the habitat is spread almost evenly throughout the Kiren Village area. Larvae species caught were: An.punctulatus (17.2%), An.maculatus (31.0%), An.farauti (6.9%), An.telatelatus (3.4%), and An.longirostris (31.0%) and not identified 10.3%. The highest density of adult mosquitoes is 7 mosquito/person/ night, the lowest is 1.5 mosquito/person/night, with an average of 3.6 mosquito/ person/night. Adult mosquito species caught : An.maculatus (37.9%), An.karwari (10.3%), An.punctulatus (31.0%), An.farauti (13.8%), and An.longoristris (6.9%). Malaria patients highest based on age group is in the 20-44 years (39.3%), and by sex in the female group (62.5%). The conclusions of this study are as follows: the highest larval habitat is puddles, the most caught larvae species are An.maculatus and An.longirostris, high mosquito density/ high MBR, adult mosquito species are mostly caught is An.punctulatus, the highest malaria patients based on age group is in the 20-44 years old and based on sex from female group
