JAKARTA - Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) Dadan Hindayana said the preparation of Presidential Regulations (Perpres) which regulates the governance of the implementation of the Free Nutrition Food program has been completed.
"It's done, it's just a matter of distribution," said Dadan when met after attending the Plenary Cabinet Session at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Monday, October 20.
Dadan emphasized that the MBG Governance Presidential Decree also regulates sanctions for the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG) which violates standard operating procedures (SOP), even though these sanctions have now been imposed.
The sanctions, said Dadan, were in the form of administrative provisions including operational cessation for SPPG who were proven to have violated the SOP and provisions.
Responding to cases of poisoning categorized as extraordinary events in several areas, BGN has temporarily suspended operations of 106 SPPGs, and only 12 of them have been allowed to resume operations.
Furthermore, Dadan explained that BGN is working with the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) to ensure that data on poisoning cases related to the MBG program can be monitored in real-time by the public, just like the data on Covid-19 cases at that time.
"That's right. So every morning the Ministry of Health sends it to us," said Dadan.
Dadan explained that the site had started broadcasting health data related to the implementation of MBG, but he could not specify the name of the site.
On the previous occasion, Dadan explained that the MBG Governance Presidential Decree detailed BGN's duties as the organizer and intervened if needed.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) will play a role in supervision. Then, distribution for pregnant and lactating women is carried out by the Ministry of Population and Family Development.
