HARIANEXPRESS – Posyandu Balita Bougenville 2 in RW 09, Grogol Selatan Urban Village, South Jakarta, conducted routine health services and child development monitoring on Wednesday, 8/7/2026, to accelerate the reduction of stunting rates.
The event, held at Gedung PAUD Bougenville on Jalan Rawa Simprug I RT 12 RW 09, targeted toddlers from five local RTs: 01, 03, 08, 09, and 12.
Ibu Tati Supriyati, Chairperson of Posyandu Balita Bougenville 2, explained the crucial role of periodic examinations in monitoring children’s nutritional status within the community.
“Kami fokus pada deteksi dini. Melalui penimbangan berat badan, pengukuran tinggi badan, hingga lingkar kepala, kita bisa melihat grafik perkembangan anak secara riil,” ujar Ibu Tati Supriyati.
Posyandu cadres, including Ibu Rini Puji Lestari, Ibu Sulha, Ibu Eni, Ibu Suryanti, Ibu Sriyati, Ibu Ninik, and Ibu Erna Yuliantina, carried out structured examinations. Syarifah, daughter of Bapak Ikhsan and Ibu Syifa from RT 03/09, was among dozens of toddlers who received intensive checks.
Beyond physical examinations, each attending toddler also received nutritious Supplementary Food (PMT) to stimulate their nutritional intake.
This routine activity received notable attention from local authorities. Bapak H. Fuad, Staff Kesra of Grogol Selatan Urban Village, and Ibu Nita, Urban Village Staff, were present at the location to monitor the proceedings.
They were joined by Ibu Evi, a representative from Penggerak PKK Kelurahan Grogol Selatan, emphasizing the local government’s commitment to supporting community-based health initiatives.
Strong support also came from local community leaders, including Bapak Pariyo (RW 09 Chairperson) and Bapak Eri (RW 09 Secretary). Ibu Yuli Sulistianti (PKK RW 09 Chairperson), Ibu Sungkawati (PKK RW 09 Secretary), and Ibu Mas’amah (LMK 09 Member) were also in attendance.
The synergy was further strengthened by the presence of local RT chairpersons, such as Ibu Ningsih (RT 07), Ibu Rosadah (RT 09), and Bapak Fauzan (RT 12).
Urban village officials extended their appreciation for the consistent efforts of Posyandu Bougenville 2 cadres, who serve as the frontline of family health.
Through active collaboration among posyandu cadres, RW/RT administrators, PKK, and urban village officials, it is hoped that parental awareness regarding child nutrition will increase, ultimately fostering a healthy and stunting-free ‘golden generation’.
