The Ministry of Health launched the Policy Implementation for the Prevention and Control of Hypertension Program with the goal of addressing the needs of national and regional public health development through minimal service standards. The goal of this study was to look at how hypertension prevention and control programs were implemented in the city of Banjarmasin. This study uses a qualitative descriptive-explorative analysis method with multiple case study approaches. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews, observation, documentation and literature study to all research informants. Informant selection technique used purposeful sampling. Research variables included communication, resources, bureaucratic structure and dispositions/attitudes. The research findings indicated that communication between policymakers, implementers, and program targets was effective. Despite the fact that human resources have reached the criterion for personnel, certain officers continue to have an excessive burden, and the number of health cadres was insufficient. Although facilities and infrastructure were available, several Public Health Centers were still having difficulty channeling demands and budgets. The bureaucratic structure had been implemented through SOPs and the delegation of authority, however numerous agencies still lacked complete documentation and archives. Even though the overall objectives were not attained, all parties exhibited a strong commitment and determination to continue the program. It can be concluded that the implementation of hypertension prevention and control policies in Banjarmasin had been quite successful, though there were still some challenges, such as differences in program target participation methods, the need for systematic equalization of authority tasks, and more equitable budget management in terms of resources. Furthermore, in terms of bureaucratic structure, it is vital to develop organized documentation standards in each agency.

Hepatitis B is the world{\textquoteright}s most common fatal liver disease caused by the B virus. Vietnam is one of the countries with the highest rates of B virus infection in the world. HBV is transmitted through the blood and body fluids of infected people, just like HIV does, but HBV is nearly 100 times more infectious than HIV. Most hepatitis B infections in adults are fully reversible, even if symptoms are very severe. Although there is currently no effective cure and vaccines that can prevent it, we can still prevent it and cure it if we know how to take some precautions that can avoid infecting others. This article discusses the right solutions for effective treatment and prevention. Some suggestions have been made regarding the scientific composition of herbs, so their application needs more attention.

Asthma is a chronic condition that can be fatal if it isn{\textquoteright}t treated promptly during an attack. Patients with an asthma attack cannot breathe enough air to supply the body with oxygen and within minutes, the patient can die. In Vietnam today, people can buy antibiotics on their own without the need of a doctor to prescribe or visit. Many people who only see signs of coughing, wheezing have voluntarily bought antibiotics for use. The overuse of antibiotics is very common in asthma patients. In fact, antibiotics are not effective in most types of asthma. Abuse of antibiotics is not only ineffective, but also makes the patient more tired, reduces resistance, and digestive disorders. Some antibiotics can even lead to acute asthma attacks. This article covers some of the remedies that can eradicate asthma with a combination of several fairly safe treatments. Through analysis of the scientific composition and current studies, it is possible to treat asthma and maintain good health.
