The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the role of BPJS Kesehatan in accelerating stunting reduction through policy analysis. This research is a qualitative research with descriptive-analytical data analysis method. The data is presented descriptively and then analyzed using policy analysis studies. Data were obtained through literature review by reviewing official documents in the form of policy papers; official websites; and scientific articles.
