JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of Lampung Chusnunia Chalim believes that the target of reducing the number of stunting cases to 14 percent by 2024 can be achieved.
As quoted in a press release from the provincial government, which was reported by Antara, Chusnunia Chalim said that the results of the 2022 Indonesian Nutrition Status Study (SSGI) showed that the number of stunting cases in Lampung Province had reached 15.2 percent.
"It is in the third best position nationally, where the national achievement is still at 21.6 percent," said Chusnunia Chalim, Wednesday, February 1.
In order to achieve the target of reducing the number of stunting cases in 2024, the Lampung Provincial Government must reduce 1.2 percent of the stunting case in its area during 2023.
The Deputy Governor asked the District/City-level Stunting Reduction Acceleration Team (TPPS) to improve performance to achieve the target of reducing the number of stunting cases.
"Hopefully in 2023 the reduction in stunting will be even better, so that in the future it can be free from stunting," he said.
He stated that the prevention and handling of stunting was part of the government's efforts to prepare a superior generation.
"Handling stunting means dealing with the future. Everyone must continue to work together and be united in dealing with stunting," he said.
