contents <p>Background: Circumcision in children has an important medical, social and religious background. This activity not only aims to improve children's health but also strengthens relations between health education institutions and the community. </p> <p>Objective: To evaluate the public health impact of a mass circumcision program organized by the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FKIK) UIN Malang, focusing on accessibility, patient safety, and community engagement. </p> <p>Methods: This retrospective observational study evaluated a community-based circumcision program conducted on October 27, 2024. The program included comprehensive pre-operative assessments, surgical procedures performed by a multidisciplinary team, and post-operative monitoring over three days. </p> <p>Results: Seven out of ten children (ages 8-12) successfully underwent circumcision with no major complications. Parental satisfaction was high (90%), with increased confidence in post-operative care reported. </p> <p>Conclusion: The mass circumcision program successfully provided safe surgeries while enhancing community awareness of hygiene and post-operative care. These findings confirm that mass circumcision, when done in an organized and community-focused way, can improve public health and strengthen the role of educational institutions in serving the community. The program also proved that with proper planning and involvement from various experts, circumcision can be safely and effectively performed outside of hospitals.</p>
