Enhancing Public Health, PGN SOR III Launches SEHATI PGN Program

Sidoarjo, August 22, 2024 – PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) SOR III has launched the SEHATI PGN Program (Healthy and Harmonious Indonesia with PGN), an initiative under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program focused on improving community health in Sidoarjo. The program includes various health activities targeting vulnerable groups and stunting children.

The first activity in this program was held on Friday, August 16, 2024, providing supplementary food (PMT) to stunted toddlers in Tambak Kalisogo Village, Jabon District. This village was chosen based on government data indicating it as one of the stunting-prone areas with a relatively high stunting rate. The activity, carried out in collaboration with Jabon Health Center, focused on fulfilling the daily nutritional needs of toddlers through the provision of balanced nutrition packages.

“We are working with Jabon Health Center to ensure that the assistance we provide is accurate and effective in reducing stunting rates in this village. Through PMT, we hope to support optimal growth and development for toddlers,” said Muhammad Makki, Area Head of Sidoarjo.

The SEHATI PGN program continued on Monday, August 19, 2024, with free health checkups for vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly, in Kedungturi Village, Taman District. These checkups included blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol screenings, along with medical consultations for over 150 participants. Lina Beauty, the village midwife, expressed her appreciation for the collaboration in implementing this activity.

Makki highlighted that such activities provide health checks and health education for communities with limited access to healthcare services.

The series of activities concluded on Tuesday, August 20, 2024, with a training session on parenting education and nutrition provision in Tambak Kalisogo Village, Jabon District. This training targeted parents of stunted children to increase their understanding of proper parenting and the importance of balanced nutrition.

The SEHATI PGN program is PGN's tangible contribution to supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in the areas of health and community well-being. Through this program, PT PGN SOR III aims to continue making positive contributions to society and becoming a reliable partner in fostering collective welfare.
