There are 2 participant 2 participants visited Posbindu PTM because of personal experience, 9 participants visited Posbindu PTM because they experienced illness, and 2 participants visited Posbindu PTM because doctor's advice.Conclusion: The reason for visiting Posbindu PTM is because of personal experience, the pain felt, and doctors' advice. In the facilities available at Posbindu, PTM is found to be primarily based on patient expectations. However, a tiny number still do not meet patient expectations.
