JAKARTA - The acceleration of stunting reduction continues to be boosted by the Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo, starting from the village, sub-district, district to provincial levels. Ganjar also asked pregnant women to routinely check their ingredients in order to prevent stunting as early as possible.

This was conveyed by Ganjar, while reviewing stunting and the use of an anthropometric kits in Posyandu, Krabetas Village, Ajibarang District, Banyumas Regency on Wednesday, July 26.

"We must not stop handling stunting, pay attention to pregnant women. So this is good, there is gymnastics for pregnant women, explanations for new pregnant women," said Ganjar at the location.

Ganjar, accompanied by health cadres and posyandu doctors, checked the health of pregnant women and mothers who were taking their toddlers to get regular health checks.

The former member of the Indonesian House of Representatives ensures that the health of the womb, mothers and toddlers are healthy and no one shows symptoms of stunting.

"It must be checked (the content) 6 times, at least everything in the pregnancy is arranged, the nutritional intake, the husband must take everything is given. I think this is a good way," said Ganjar.

In his review, Ganjar found that Krabetas Village did not have stunting children or zero stunting cases. Ganjar also appreciated the stunting handling carried out in Kraretas Village.

However, overall Ganjar is still targeting stunting cases to drop quickly according to the government's target of 14 percent by 2024.

"Earlier I saw again examined, zero stunted ones. This means that the attention of the cadres is very good, the village midwives are great, doctors are at the puskesmas, the village head friends are also good so we can prevent it from an early age," said Ganjar.

For information, stunting management in Banyumas Regency is in the top six best throughout Central Java in 2022. The Banyumas Regency Government has succeeded in reducing the prevalence of stunting rates from 21.6% in 2021 to 16.6% in 2022 or a stunting reduction of 5%.
