Growth Mats are Innovations For Stunting, How Does It Function?

Stunting cases in Indonesia are in a fairly serious condition, reviewing survey data that states one in three Indonesian children suffer from stunting. Minister of Health Terawan Agus Putranto revealed, the number of stunting cases in Indonesia as of 2019 reached 27.67%.

In this case, it is a concern, considering that the figure is higher than the maximum tolerance of stunting set by the World Health Organization or WHO. Because WHO sets the stunting severity index is called critical if the number is more or equal to 15 %.

Therefore, it is important to know the symptoms of stunting to maintain the nutrition and healthy development of each child.
