Kampung Wangun itself is quite far from the center of Karyamukti village, which is around 23 km. The closest health center to Kampung Wangun is around 34 km away with the road that must be taken being a village road in a mountainous location that goes up and down and is difficult to travel. In addition, this village road often experiences landslides so that road access is often cut off. This causes this village to tend to be isolated and difficult to access, including access to health services. It is difficult for people to visit health facilities to obtain health services and health service programs do not reach the area.
