The event, held on Saturday, June 26, 2026, aims to enhance the competency and commitment of trainers in promoting community health.

Adityawarman, who also chairs the YJI Bogor City Branch, expressed his appreciation for the initiative, stating that a collective commitment is essential for improving the health of Bogor's residents. He urged participants to engage fully with the training to absorb the material optimally, emphasizing that strong competency is crucial for effective public education.

"We must be more enthusiastic to realize a healthy and productive society in Bogor City," Adityawarman said. He also stressed the importance of legislative support for cross-sectoral collaboration, particularly with the Bogor City Health Office and Youth and Sports Office, to achieve the vision of a "Healthy Bogor," with a specific focus on maintaining citizens' heart health.

Dr. Komar Hanifi, Chairman of YJI West Java, highlighted that the refresher course is designed to boost the technical understanding and skills of healthy heart trainers.
