Abstract / Summary
Stunting remains a health problem that needs attention because it can affect children's growth and the quality of human resources. This study aims to determine the definition, benefits, and objectives of health policies in addressing stunting in Palembang City. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review approach. Data were obtained from government regulations, books, scientific articles, and previous studies. The results show that health policies play an important role in directing efforts to address stunting. These efforts are carried out through nutritional fulfillment, supplementary feeding, family assistance, and cooperation across sectors. In Palembang City, various policies and programs have been implemented to reduce stunting. However, there are still challenges in coordination and program supervision. Therefore, good cooperation is needed so that stunting prevention and reduction efforts can be carried out optimally.
