PAPUA - The Regional Secretary (Sekda) of Jayawijaya Regency, Papua Province, Thony Mayor admitted that he had received reports from residents that the Head of the Yalengga District Health Center was rarely in his place of duty. "I will report the submission to the regent. This is advice from the village head," he said in Wamena, Antara, Sunday, August 28. He admitted that he received the report when he made a working visit to the Yalengga District. On that occasion the village head said the low level of presence of the head of the puskesmas affected health services for their citizens. "I have made a video regarding the delivery of the village head and it will be submitted to the leadership," he said. The Regional Secretary said that health services for the people of Jayawijaya Regency are very important so they should not be ignored. Health problems, according to him, are not only the responsibility of medical personnel but also need the support of residents, including district heads and village heads. The Regional Secretary expressed his gratitude to the 11 village heads in Yalengga District who routinely allocate half of the village funds (DD) for handling stunting. "I have explained that health problems such as stunting cannot stand alone from other fields. So agriculture exists, food security is all supporting each other," said Thony Mayor.
