Praise and thanks giving: we pray to God Almighty because for the blessings of His grace and guidance, we were able to complete the task of this proceeding. This proceeding is a history subject assignment, as a condition to take the final grade promotion exam that was already been presented in Tapanuli International Health Conference 2022. It has been held at 15–16 March 2022 virtually and Aufa Royhan University as the host.

This proceeding, with the theme “Sustainable Degenerative Diseases Prevention Towards A Healthy and Productive Society”, has the purpose to strengthen international networks in an effort to improve quality of health services that are effective and efficient as a means of sharing information on the results of research and the latest technology in the field of prevention of degenerative diseases.

Hopefully through the explanation in this proceeding, readers can gain insight. We also hope that this proceeding is able to describe degenerative diseases. Degenerative is a disease due to decreased function of the existing systems in the body. It occurs due to hereditary factors, an unhealthy lifestyle or ageing. Degenerative diseases occur in all systems, such as the neurological system, cardiovascular system, endocrine system and musculoskeletal system. The result of this disease is a gradual decline in the quality of life of the sufferer.

Various disciplines in the health sector have an important role in controlling or preventing this disease such as in the fields of medicine, nursing, midwifery, public health and pharmacy. One of the roles that can be shown is from the aspect of health research.

Research requires clear consideration in its implementation and has to consider the outputs that obtained from it. Research with broad impact on the control and prevention of degenerative diseases needs benefit of the users such as the community immediately to achieve a healthy and productive society in the pandemic era of the COVID-19.

Various effective and efficient comprehensive approaches need to be studied more deeply to find the best solution, such as implementation of various scientific meetings. One of them is through the idea of implementing the Tapanuli International Health Conference 2022. This scientific meeting will bring together various experts and researchers to share the latest information regarding the prevention of degenerative diseases, as an effort to create a healthy and productive society.
