        "summary": "Denpasar currently operates 459 posyandu integrated health posts, staffed by a total of 4,011 cadres, though distribution remains uneven across areas, with some posts critically understaffed at just five cadres. The Denpasar Community and Village Empowerment Agency (DPMD) highlights challenges in implementing the expanded Posyandu Paripurna 6 SPM model, which covers not only health but also education, social services, housing, and public order, and is addressing this through cadre strengthening, incentives, and regular training. Social issues, including disability aids and BPJS health insurance support, form the bulk of community complaints, with verification and resolution processes in place up to provincial levels to ensure timely handling.",
        "content": "<p>The Denpasar City Community and Village Empowerment Agency (DPMD) has\nidentified that several posyandu in Denpasar are still short of cadres.\nIn fact, there are posyandu with only five cadres.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Posyandu Paripurna 6 SPM requires broader services, not\njust health, but also education, social affairs, housing, and public\norder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the obstacle is with the cadres. There is one posyandu with 10,\n20, 25 cadres. Even one with 5, if I\u2019m not mistaken at that time. That\u2019s\nwhy I was shocked to see a cadre count of 5\u2014what can they possibly\nhandle, when just health services alone would exhaust five cadres,\u201d said\nDPMD Denpasar Secretary Tresna Yasa to detikBali on Tuesday\n(12\/5\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Currently, there are 459 posyandu in Denpasar with a total of 4,011\ncadres. However, the distribution of cadres is said to be uneven across\neach region.<\/p>\n<p>Yasa admitted to having requested villages and sub-districts to\nbolster cadre numbers, including through additional incentives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask villages\/sub-districts that still have low cadre numbers. We\nrequest commitment from Mr Bekel or Mr Lurah for strengthening these\ncadres, so that cadres do not complain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the number of cadres, DPMD also highlighted the\ncapabilities of cadres, which are deemed not fully ready to implement\nthe Posyandu Paripurna 6 SPM concept.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, DPMD claims to conduct regular coaching. In 2025,\ncoaching was carried out eight times in each sub-district, designating\ntwo to three villages as pilots.<\/p>\n<p>Yasa noted that social issues are the most common complaints in\nPosyandu Paripurna 6 SPM, ranging from wheelchair assistance to BPJS\nservices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe social sector has a broad scope. From disabilities, requests for\nwheelchair aid, crutches. Including those with BPJS. That\u2019s what the\ncommunity is waiting for,\u201d explained Yasa.<\/p>\n<p>He added that all community complaints are verified at the village or\nsub-district level with a target resolution within five working days. If\nit cannot be resolved, the report is forwarded to the sub-district,\ncity, and up to provincial levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, the other day there was a case of an out-of-Denpasar ID\ncard. We even forwarded that to the province because it crosses\nregency\/city boundaries,\u201d said Yasa.<\/p>",
