Study of the Low Visit of Mothers of Toddlers of the Damal Tribe to the Agikemok and Nella Posyandu in the Working Area of the Kwamki Narama Health Center, Mimika Regency, Central Papua

This study examines the low attendance of mothers of toddlers from the Damal Tribe at the Agikemok and Nella Posyandu under the Kwamki Narama Health Center, Mimika Regency, Central Papua. Using a qualitative case study with 16 informants, the research found a decline in participation between 2023 and 2024. Five main themes emerged: inconsistent attendance, limited socio-cultural influence, economic barriers, suboptimal support from health workers due to inadequate facilities, and generally positive but insufficient community perceptions. The study concludes that economic constraints, infrastructure limitations, and lack of family support are the main causes of low participation. Strengthening Posyandu facilities, empowering community leaders, and developing sustainable, locally based programs are recommended.
