mPosyandu Make Reporting No Longer Complicated
SHNet, JAKARTA – Orandum Est Ut Sit Mensana Incorpore Sano. Let us pray that in a healthy body there is a healthy soul. It's an old Latin adage and still very relevant today.
But for a healthy body and soul, not enough to pray. There must be action, real action. Praying without action is dead.
In 1975, the Indonesian Ministry of Health, already very conscious and understand the old adage. How to produce healthy and strong Indonesian human beings with a strong, sturdy and tenacious soul. One way to do this is to form the Village Community Health Development (PKMD) which became the embryo of Integrated Service Post (Posyandu) ten years later and is widely known today.
Posyandu in essence is the effort to improve the nutrition of children at an early age. In the course of time of course a lot of development, for example associated with the still high maternal and child mortality during childbirth or at an early age. Now Posyandu is one form of community health effort (UKBM) managed from, by, for, and with the community. Posyandu is an effort to empower and facilitate the community to obtain basic health services for mothers (pregnant), infants and children under five.
What can I get if I follow Posyandu? In the modern world, information and health services for mothers, infants and toddlers are urgently needed. By following posyandu, the growth of children under five is monitored so that they do not suffer from malnutrition or malnutrition. Pregnant women will also be monitored body weight and get tablets plus blood (Fe) and immunization Tetanus Toksoid.
In addition, there are also health related education about mother and child health. If there are abnormalities in infants, children under five, pregnant women, postpartum and breastfeeding mothers can be immediately identified and referred to puskesmas.
HSBC Commitment
Well, HSBC (The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation) is one of the corporations that is committed to improving the quality of posyandu services in the country today. Together with Wahana Visi Indonesia (WVI), HSBC established Pos PINTAR, a Posyandu reinforcement program by improving data collection system, growth monitoring and improving nutrition counseling in the community by using smart phone based technology. The program is tangible application: mPosyandu.
With this application, posyandu services in terms of data accuracy, speed of research, the tendency to provide feedback to caregivers of babies more quickly and accurately. Pos PINTAR is already available in three provinces, namely Kelurahan Cilincing and Village Semper West in District Cilincing, DKI Jakarta; Sidodadi Urban Village, Simalawang Sub-District in Simokerto District, Surabaya, East Java; and Kelurahan Sungai Jawi Luar, Kelurahan Sungai Jawi Dalam, Sungai Sungai Subdistrict and Pal Lima Village, West Pontianak Subdistrict, West Kalimantan.
Hartinah Wiyanti, North Jakarta Sub-Dept. of Nutrition Staff, said the existence of PINTAR Post makes it easier for policy makers to make decisions on various things to do. "Data quickly can be obtained, processed, analyzed and taken action. I hope mPosyandu can be utilized also by other areas, "Hartinah said.
During this time there are many people who collect data when doing posyandu. The data accumulates on the ledger. However, once data is available, there is often no further step. "This is the advantage of this mPosyandu, when the data needed do not need to queue, simply by clicking the handphone button," Hartinah said.
WVI's CEO & National Director, Doseba Tua Sinay, said mPosyandu is an Anroid-based mobile app with two features, a community-driven growth monitoring and PMBA counseling feature. The mPosyandu application is developed because the number of mobile phone users in Indonesia is increasing. Even Indonesia has become the country with the most mobile phone users in the world.
With such an app, the way to service is made easier. Effective and efficient in terms of time. Data can also be accessed anytime from the used mobile phone. "In rural areas, the effectiveness of mPosyandu is now highly dependent on cooperation with local governments. However, the utilization of this technology is very effective if it can be used properly, "said Doseba. mPosyandu in rural have been tested in 10 posyandu in Sikka, East Nusa Tenggara in 2013-2015. The result is quite satisfactory. While mPosyandu in urban areas were tested in 4 posyandu in Jakarta involving a total of 74 posyandu cadres.
Partnership Cooperation
Nuni Sutyoko, HSBC's Senior Vice President & Head of Corporate Sustainability, said the mPosyandu program is a partnership partnership. It is not in a position as a donor, but all parties hold the role according to their respective capacities. "This is not a HSBC marketing job. Absolutely not. It is a value investment, our partnership partnership, "he said.
All parties are obliged to educate the life of Indonesian children as the next generation. HSBC is in this part of the job. There are many programs that can be run to create and prepare future generations better. But all that, said Nuni Sutyoko, should be done by partnering with institutions or other agencies. Between the Sawata and the government, between private and private sector cooperation should be established so that the effectiveness of various humanitarian activities more impact.
In some countries, he said, HSBC CSR programs are tailored to the needs of each country. But in Indonesia more concentrated on the affairs of mother and child and child education issues. The high mortality rate of pregnant women, mothers and children and malnutrition is one of the considerations.
HSBC will always support the progress and sustainability of development including the development of human resources in Indonesia. The current PINTAR Postal Program is considered to be able to improve the health services for children better.
PINTAR post with mPosyandu application is the first digital posyandu application in Indonesia. The existence of mPosyandu is slowly replacing the role of a general ledger used posyandu cadres in recording data. With this application technology, all data is centralized to servers that are easily accessed and analyzed. Thus, when following posyandu no longer queue for too long because the cadres are still disassembling where the data of participants recorded previously. Greetings Healthy Pos PINTAR. (Inno Jemabut)
