Politeknik Kesehatan Kementerian Kesehatan Pontianak

Politeknik Kesehatan Kementerian Kesehatan Pontianak (commonly abbreviated as Poltekkes Kemenkes Pontianak) is a state higher-education institution in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, operating under the Indonesian Ministry of Health. It is part of the national network of health polytechnics (Politeknik Kesehatan Kementerian Kesehatan) that train students in nursing, midwifery, pharmacy, nutrition, environmental health, and related allied-health fields. As an academic institution, it also functions as an academic publisher, producing scholarly and educational materials in the health sciences. The institution is based in Pontianak, the capital of West Kalimantan province on the island of Borneo, and serves students and health professionals across the region. Its curriculum and research output are oriented toward applied health practice, public health, and the development of the health workforce in Indonesia. Because it is a government institution, it is state-owned and funded rather than privately held or listed on a stock exchange. As an academic publisher, Poltekkes Kemenkes Pontianak issues journals, textbooks, and other scholarly materials associated with its teaching and research programs. These publications support the dissemination of health knowledge within Indonesia and contribute to the broader academic publishing landscape in the country. The institution's identity is therefore dual: it is both a health-education provider and a publisher of academic content in its fields of specialization.
