The problem of stunting that has not been completed is a national problem that we face today. In fact, WHO noted that stunting is becoming the world’s biggest health problem.
Stunting or stunting is a condition of failure to grow due to malnutrition in the first thousand days of a child’s life. In addition to malnutrition, stunting in children will cause motor, physical, and mental conditions of children to be disturbed. If this stunting condition is allowed, it will have a long impact until the age of adult children.
In Indonesia, stunting is the focus of the government in achieving the golden generation in 2045. Currently, children with stunting conditions have reached 24.4%. The WHO has called for stunting to be below 14%. Therefore, various efforts ranging from prevention to healing are being pursued by the government. The government invites all levels of society from upstream to downstream in this stunting alleviation.
Stunting Losses for the Country
Children who stunting not only cause disruption of their child’s condition, even the country is also affected by this stunting problem. Why not? Because children are human resources for the future, where children will bring about a change in the nation. If the child is affected by stunting, then the country will experience a decline in human resources.
Recently, Indonesian Vice President Ma’ruf Amin mentioned that stunting results in state losses every year reaching Rp300 trillion. That is, the country annually suffers a loss of 2-3% of the total GDP.
Until now, the government invites all levels of society to the industrial sector to eliminate stunting. The government’s target for stunting reduction by 2024 should already be below 14%. Thus, this two-year period should be able to reduce the prevalence of stunting by 10%.
Prevent Stunting With Stunting Kit
Stunting in children can be known by periodic examinations including measurements of the child’s body such as height, weight, arm circumference, and head circumference.
