The South Tangerang City Government (Pemkot Tangsel) has reaffirmed its commitment to improving children's health by strengthening cross-sector collaboration. This strategic move involves synergy between regional government agencies (OPD), health cadres, and the innovative Ngider Sehat Premium service as the spearhead of field services.
The Mayor of South Tangerang, Benyamin Davnie, stated that the commemoration of National Children's Day serves as a crucial momentum to evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing health programs. According to him, Posyandu cadres and the Ngider Sehat Premium team are the two main pillars serving as an extension of the government to reach the public directly to meet better health indicators.
Furthermore, Benyamin emphasized that every child in South Tangerang has the right to balanced nutrition, quality medical services, and a safe environment to support their future. As valuable national assets, children's health is viewed as a long-term investment for the region's progress.
In its implementation, the Ngider Sehat Premium team alongside Posyandu cadres are now more intensively conducting assistance regarding basic needs, such as supplementary feeding (PMT) and routine health screenings. These efforts are also carried out as a preventive measure to suppress stunting rates and ensure that supporting infrastructure for children's nutrition remains adequately available.
As a form of appreciation for the frontline workers' dedication, the government presented special awards to health cadres and field teams. Benyamin stressed that the success of regional health programs would not be achieved without the active involvement of community elements working tirelessly to improve the health status of South Tangerang residents.
