Pj Gubernur Rumasukun Ajak OPD Pemda Waropen jadi Orang Tua Asuh Stunting

BOTAWA - Penjabat (Pj) Gubernur Papua Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun mengajak para kepala organisasi perangkat daerah (OPD) di Kabupaten Waropen untuk menjadi orang tua asuh stunting bagi balita yang melakukan pelayanan kesehatan ke Posyandu setempat.

Gubernur Rumasukun yakin apabila hal ini diterapkan di seluruh posyandu di Waropen, maka masalah stunting akan bisa teratasi.

“Kalau saya pesan masing-masing kepala OPD (di Waropen) jadi orang tua asuh bagi balita untuk dalam waktu 6 bulan kedepan.”

“Hanya diberikan susu, kacang hijau dan telur. Dalam enam bulan beberapa ratus ribu. Atau satu orang satu juta, pasti masalah stunting selesai,” terang Rumasukun, disela-sela peresmian Posyandu Mekar Jaya, Kampung Usaiwa, Distrik Hureyfaisey, Botawa, Waropen, Kamis (19/10/2023). 

Gubernur Rumasukun pada kesempatan itu mengapresiasi pemerintahan setempat yang sudah bekerja keras menurunkan angka stunting di Waropen. 

Apresiasi yang tinggi juga ditujukkan kepada kepala kampung yang mendorong pembangunan Posyandu Mekar Jaya dengan sumber pembiayaan dari dana desa.

“Kalau bisa, ini ditiru seluruh kepala kampung di Papua.” 

“Sebab disinilah (Posyandu) lahir anak-anak sehat, yang akan menjadi generasi emas 2045. Disini juga para balita nantinya bakal menjadi pemimpin di masa depan. Jadi bupati, wakil bupati, DPRD, ASN dan lainnya,”tandasnya.

Sebelum menyampaikan sambutan, di acara peresmian Posyandu Mekar Jaya, Pj Gubernur melakukan penandatanganan prasasti oleh Gubernur Rumasukun.

BOTAWA - Acting Governor of Papua Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun invited the heads of regional apparatus organizations in Waropen Regency to become stunting foster parents for toddlers who carry out health services to the Local Integrated Service Post.

Governor Rumasukun believes that if this is implemented in all Integrated Service Posts in Waropen, the stunting problem will be solved.

"I wish each of the heads of the Regional Apparatus Organization (in Waropen) will be a foster parent for toddlers within the next 6 months."

"Giving milk, green beans and eggs, several hundred thousand in six months or a million each person, surely the stunting problem is solved," explained Rumasukun, on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Mekar Jaya Integrated Service Post, Usaiwa Village, Hureyfaisey District, Botawa, Waropen, Thursday (10/19/2023).

Governor Rumasukun on that occasion appreciated the local government for working hard to reduce stunting rates in Waropen.

High appreciation was also directed to the village head who encouraged the development of Mekar Jaya Integrated Service Post with funding sources from village funds.

"If possible, this is imitated by all village heads in Papua."

"In this Integrated Service Post, healthy children are born and will become the golden generation in 2045. The toddlers will become leaders, Regents, Deputy Regents, People's Representative Council, Civil Servants and others in the future," he said.

Before delivering his remarks, at the inauguration of Mekar Jaya Integrated Service Post, the Acting Governor signed the inscription by Governor Rumasukun.

Meanwhile, the Mekar Jaya Integrated Service Post ribbon was cut by the Acting Chairman of the Family Welfare Empowerment of Papua, Linda Onibala.

The Acting Governor of Papua also handed over assistance to accelerate the reduction of stunting in the local area. ***
