Implementation of the Health Pillar Community Development and Empowerment (PPM) program has become the main focus and commitment by PT Manambang Muara Enim (PT MME) to communities around the mine. Efforts to resolve health problems were also carried out, one of which was through the Supplementary Food Program (PMT) for ten children suffering from stunting in Lingga Village, Lawang Kidul District. The problem of stunting is one of five national priorities in the health sector, with Indonesia being one of the developing countries that has a high prevalence of stunting. Meanwhile, Lingga Village is the area with the highest rate of stunting sufferers in Lawang Kidul District.

The Supplementary Food Providing Program (PMT) is carried out jointly between Lingga Village Posyandu Cadres and Tanjung Enim Community Health Center with the main function of distributing food and monitoring nutritional development status. The process of providing additional food assistance is carried out every day for six months by monitoring nutritional status through recording which is also carried out every month. The program partnership also involves the Village Guidance Officer (babinsa) from Koramil 404-05 Lawang Kidul to assist in the use of local food as the main raw material in additional food menus. This development and collaboration certainly has the same goal as the government's agenda, including accelerating the reduction of stunting sufferers through the availability of local food.

The implementation of the supplementary feeding program (PMT) is a form of the company's commitment to the community in synergy with the local government in efforts to resolve the stunting problem. PT Manambang Muara Enim (PT MME) will continue to strive and continuously build partnerships and synergy with various parties. With the aim that every planning and implementation of community development and empowerment programs is able to substantially support the acceleration of regional and central government agendas and targets.
