As for the implementation of anthropometric and ultrasound procurement, Hendry Roren said that local governments can wait for the circular of anthropometric specifications and ultrasound to be issued first. This circular will be published in the next few weeks. If the specification circular has been issued, the local government can carry out the procurement of anthropometric equipment and ultrasound in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
