Director of Health Promotion and Community Empowerment – Ministry of Health , Dr. Imran Agus Nurali SpKO, said that this change is expected to describe the Posyandu that the community wants, which is to become a forum for interacting, learning, educating and empowering the community itself.
“Posyandu rebranding aims to make changes to the quality of Posyandu services so that in the future they can provide quality services and are increasingly in demand by the community,” said Dr Imran in a recent Virtual Press Conference.
He explained, despite the unfavorable conditions that Posyandu is still experiencing until now, from an online survey (June 2021) Evaluation of Posyandu a total of 4,883 (100%) respondents stated that Posyandu was very useful and needed by the community, although almost 90% of respondents stated that Posyandu need change.
“The community hopes that in the future, Posyandu can become a center of excellence, an integrated service center, plays an active role in community empowerment, is increasingly in demand by the community, and hopes that the government is able to facilitate facilities, infrastructure, and human resources for Posyandu managers,” explained dr. Imran.
Meanwhile, the Director of BKKBN Field Line Movement Development, I Made Yudhistira D, M.Psi said Posyandu is important to maintain children’s health and nutrition and family education for children’s growth and development.
Health services such as family planning, immunization, examination of pregnant women, giving supplements and providing additional food can be provided directly at the Posyandu.
“In an effort to accelerate the reduction of stunting, the role and function of the Posyandu is very strategic. Poor nutritional status in pregnant women and infants is the main factor that causes children under five to experience stunting,” said Made.
