This certainly encourage our enthusiasm as a partner in PG CSR program execution to participate in creating healthy Gresik community", she said.

This program is prioritized for the community in 8 (eight) villages/regencies closest to the company, including Roomo, Kroman, Ngipik, Sukorame, Tlogopojok, Karangturi, Lumpur and Karangpoh.

In this activity, a discussion session with the present Heads of Village/Regency along with their health cadres was also provided .
