The Government of Padang Pariaman Regency, through the PKK Empowerment Team (TP PKK), has once again achieved a brilliant milestone on the national stage. At the peak of the commemoration of the 54th PKK Unity Movement Day (HKG) in Makassar on Saturday (11/7/2026), TP PKK Padang Pariaman was awarded a prestigious accolade by the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia and the General Chairperson of the Central TP PKK for their strong commitment to accelerating the reduction in the number of children with zero-dose status.

This award is a form of appreciation for the region's success in coordinating immunization services throughout 2025. Cross-sectoral synergy involving the Health Office, community health centers (Puskesmas), and cadres at the village (nagari) level has proven effective in reaching children who previously lacked access to complete basic immunization.

The Chairperson of TP PKK Padang Pariaman Regency, Mrs. Nita Christanti Azis, expressed that this achievement is the result of the hard work of all elements of society. According to her, this success is rooted in the solid collaboration between the local government, medical personnel, and highly dedicated field cadres in providing maternal and child health services.

Furthermore, Mrs. Nita emphasized that this award is not the finish line of their struggle. Her team is committed to continuing to optimize the role of Posyandu (integrated health posts) as the forefront of public health services. This step aligns with the government's grand mission to reduce stunting rates and prepare an outstanding next generation to realize the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision.

The event, which took place at the Claro Hotel in Makassar, was attended by several high-ranking state officials, including Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin and the board of the Central TP PKK. It is hoped that Padang Pariaman's success will serve as motivation for other regions to strengthen mutual cooperation (gotong royong) in ensuring that every child receives their proper health rights, even in the remotest villages.
