\u201cThe target for decrease in stunting in the RPJMN is higher,\nunder 20%. This is the amount of stunting tolerated by WHO in a country,\u201d told\nDirectorate General of Public Health from the Republic of Indonesia Ministry of\nHealth Kirana Pritasari, when opening the workshop through collaboration\nbetween Universitas Padjadjaran and the Republic of Indonesia Ministry of\nHealth (Kemenkes RI) at Marbella Suites, Bandung, Wednesday (10\/7) evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event, themed \u201cWorkshop to Strengthen Posyandu with\nCommunity Empowerment in Preventing Stunting through Health Science Approach\u201d,\nis attended by some PKK (community for family welfare development) members and\nhealth workers from West and Central Java.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) by Kemenkes RI,\nthe prevalence of stunting in West Java is 29,2%. This number is almost similar\nto the national prevalence, 30,8%. Hence why, said Kirana, West Java must give\nan optimal effort to decrease its stunting number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said that stunting prevention is not only about giving\ntoddlers better nutrition. Parenting, sanitation, and water availability are\nalso very important. On the other hand, intervention in teenagers is important\nto prepare them for reproduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Head of the PKK West Java Driving Team Atalia Praratya said,\nstunting cases are a cycle. A stunted female child will be malnourished. In\nadulthood, a malnourished mother will give birth to children with inadequate\nbirth weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur homework is to make sure mothers have the best\nnutrition so they can give birth to healthy and intelligent children,\u201d said\nAtalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atalia, wife of the West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil,\nexplained that stunting cases in West Java is unrelated to poverty. Instead,\nthis case is related to behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cData shows that 29% of stunted toddlers came from well-off\nfamilies and 33% of them live in urban settings. This is our homework,\u201d said\nAtalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unpad Vice Rector for Research, Public Service, Partnership,\nand Academic Cooperation Dr. Keri Lestari, M.Si., Apt., said, Unpad is very\nwelcoming to a comprehensive partnership in decreasing stunting numbers in West\nJava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Keri explained, one of Unpad\u2019s activities in handling\nstunting is through a comprehensive research that\u2019s been done since 2012. From\nthe research, Unpad concluded that stunting is related to eating habits,\nparenting, sanitation, and access to clean water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFrom our analysis, there is a correlation between the\npaucity of clean water with stunting, especially in Citarum river. So what we\nare doing is integrated with the Citarum Harum program,\u201d said Dr. Keri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
