Abstract
Posyandu is an Indonesian term that refers to integrated healthcare centres in the community. It is a form of Community-Based Health Efforts managed and organized by, for, and with the community in implementing health development to empower the community and provide convenience to the community in obtaining essential health services, primarily to accelerate the reduction of mortality: mother and baby. The problem faced by Posyandu Aster Wanujoyo Lor is the lack of adequate weight and height measurement tools to carry out the main task. In addition, there is no SOP for the use of medical devices, and knowledge about when these tools should be calibrated is also very minimal. Hence, the potential for making measurement errors is still immense. The solution offered is to assist with health measuring instruments to Posyandu Aster and assistance programs in using and maintaining excellent and correct health equipment for Posyandu cadres. The method used begins with coordinating with the Posyandu Aster Wanujoyo Lor cadres, identifying the problems encountered, socializing community service activities and the Posyandu participants, preparing tools and materials, implementing community service activities, and the last is evaluation and monitoring. The Posyandu cadres and participants welcomed this service activity, and it was carried out successfully. Posyandu Aster Wanujoyo has complete equipment to check the nutritional status of the Posyandu participants
