NCD Prevention Pioneer in East Kalimantan Timur :
Assistant Professor Dr. Purwo is actively involved in teaching, research, and community programs in public health. A key achievement is his leadership in a stunting prevention initiative across East Kalimantan, involving around 1,000 students and faculty members. He structured student participation by academic year, from training first-year students in public speaking to assigning final-year students to educate women of reproductive age. He also led research on stunting risk factors that helped shape local government policies. He regularly publishes studies using national secondary data, some of which support policies by the National Population and Family Planning Agency. Since 2018, he has guided numerous students who have gone on to become professionals in the public health field.
