Abstract
This study aims to analyze the Head of Eilogo Health Community Center's implementation of transformational leadership to provide services of the Complete Basic Immunization (CBI) program in Sabu Raijua Regency. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that the four dimensions of transformational leadership proposed by Bass (1990)—idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration—have not been fully optimized. Limited engagement, weak communication of vision, lack of innovation, and insufficient attention to health staff remain major obstacles. From a humanistic and social justice perspective, weak leadership has reduced equitable access to health services. This study highlights the importance of empathetic, human-centered, and socially just leadership in realizing effective and inclusive primary health care.

Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis penerapan gaya kepemimpinan transformasional Kepala Puskesmas Eilogo dalam pelayanan pelaksanaan Imunisasi Dasar Lengkap (IDL) di Kabupaten Sabu Raijua. Pendekatan penelitian menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan empat dimensi kepemimpinan transformasional menurut Bass (1990)—pengaruh ideal, motivasi inspiratif, stimulasi intelektual, dan perhatian individual—belum berjalan optimal. Keterbatasan keterlibatan langsung, lemahnya komunikasi visi, minimnya inovasi, dan kurangnya perhatian terhadap tenaga kesehatan menjadi faktor penghambat utama. Dari perspektif humanitas dan keadilan sosial, lemahnya kepemimpinan berdampak pada berkurangnya akses masyarakat terhadap pelayanan kesehatan yang setara. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya kepemimpinan yang humanis, empatik, dan berorientasi pada keadilan sosial dalam mewujudkan pelayanan kesehatan primer yang efektif dan inklusif.
