Abstract: Poor sanitation
could be the transmission media for environment-based diseases’ agents. The
program of Primary Health Care Service (PHCS) which deals with
environment-based disease is sanitation clinic. This program has been running
in Bukittinggi since 2009. The objective of this study was to see how this
program has been going on in PHCS in Bukittinggi. This descriptive study used
total sampling, in which all seven PHCS in Bukittinggi are included. This
research was done from September to October 2013. Based on quedionaire result,
all sanitarians are well-educated, but only two of them had sanitation clinic
training. Only one PHCS has a special room, six has posters and leaflets, two
allocates special budget for sanitation clinic, and six has all kind of manual
books. Based on secondary data, the accumulation of environment-based disease’s
cases in all PHCS is variative and fluctuative and the accumulation of clients
come to sanitation clinic is still below the expectation. House-visitting
activity has not met the expectation yet, while trans-program activity has been
running well, trans-sector activity has been running well in almost all PHCS,
and evaluation has been running in a variative frequency. All sanitation clinic
graded good in implementing sanitation clinic, within the range of 50-100%.
