Abstract
The digitalization of Posyandu (Integrated Health Service Posts) is a strategic initiative to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of maternal and child health services in Indonesia. However, its implementation is not yet fully supported by a comprehensive and inclusive legal regulatory framework. This study employs a normative juridical approach to analyze relevant regulations, such as the Health Law, Personal Data Protection Law, and Ministry of Health regulations on telemedicine. The findings indicate that current legal provisions remain fragmented and do not explicitly regulate digital Posyandu, particularly in aspects concerning the protection of sensitive data, the legal status of Posyandu cadres, and guaranteed access for vulnerable groups. The absence of clear technical standards, infrastructure guidelines, and monitoring mechanisms further exacerbates implementation challenges, especially in remote areas. Therefore, an ideal regulatory model is needed-one that integrates the principles of inclusivity, data security, and cross-sector governance. Such regulation is expected to ensure that digital Posyandu becomes a tool for realizing the right to health in a fair, secure, and sustainable manner for all mothers and children across Indonesia.
