PALEMBANG - The South Sumatra Provincial Government has optimized the Family Assistance Task Force (TPK) to reduce the number of stunting cases or growth and development disorders in children due to chronic malnutrition (stunting).
"By optimizing the TPK Task Force, which is supported by midwives, PKK cadres, and family planning cadres, the stunting rate, which is at 24.8 percent, is expected to be reduced to 14 percent in the next one or two years according to the national target," said Deputy Governor of South Sumatra Mawardi Yahya, quoted from Antara, Saturday, May 28.
Mawardi said that currently there are still quite a lot of stunting cases in children, especially in remote areas of South Sumatra.
Seeing these conditions, he continued, his party tried to socialize to the public about the benefits of consuming fish for health.
"The benefits of consuming fish include reducing depression, preventing heart disease, and fulfilling nutritional needs that can educate the brain," Mawardi said.
That way, the human development index (HDI) of this area is in line with the expected target.
"By consuming a lot of fish, besides being able to overcome the problem of dwarfism and other health problems," he concluded.
