JAKARTA - Lowering stunting rates is not only the responsibility of parents. In order to achieve the golden generation, students who enter adolescence need to gain knowledge of the importance of preconception.

Preconception is a two-word merger, namely pre-meaning pre-conception which means a meeting between a female egg and a male sperm cell. Preconceptions are carried out to identify and modify biomedical, mechanical and social risks to the health of women or productive age partners who are planning to get pregnant.

Efforts to improve health before pregnancy are things that must be done. What is the goal? So that various health problems that usually haunt future mothers such as anemia, bleeding, infection, hypertension and diabetes in pregnancy, and HIV/AIDS can be avoided so that stunting does not occur.

This preconception can be started as a teenager. So, students can prepare themselves in advance. To equip students, the Institute of Domestic Administration carried out online and offline Stadium General activities by inviting the Governor of West Kalimantan, the Governor of Maluku represented by the Head of the Maluku Province Bappeda and the Mayor of Bukittinggi.
