Results: There are several aspects that still need attention and improvement. In public health efforts, especially in health promotion, there are some indicators that are lacking, such as the number of types of printed health promotion media and the coverage of policies supporting the healthy living community movement. Maternal and child health also show satisfactory achievement levels, but there are still some variables that require further attention, such as the coverage of delivery services for mothers in health facilities and the coverage of services for toddlers. Additionally, in the development of community oral health efforts, there are some aspects that are assessed as less satisfactory, such as the implementation of community-based oral health efforts in integrated health service posts and traditional health practices that have not reached the desired targets. Therefore, to improve the performance of Masbagik CHC, a thorough evaluation of these less satisfactory aspects is needed, along with the design of appropriate improvement strategies to achieve more optimal results.
Conclusion: Essential public health efforts, especially in health promotion, show less than optimal achievements. Meanwhile, environmental health and family health efforts demonstrate good achievements. Specific health services, such as vaccination, infectious disease control, and early detection of diseases, show good to excellent achievements. However, certain aspects of traditional health practices, sports, and occupational health show satisfactory achievements and require more attention. The implication is to enhance efforts in health promotion, strengthen traditional health efforts, and improve achievements in hajj health, sports, and occupational health to achieve a more holistic public health.
