Stunting remains a big agenda for Indonesia in the last few years. However, the Covid-19 has become one of the challenges. The funding was diverted to deal with Covid-19. But the Government is committed to pursuing the reduction of stunting up to 14% by 2024. The Government released a referenced book for the health care services during the pandemic. To provide the mobility of healthcare workers, there’s a crucial stunting detection instrument called Infantometer Board. Let’s take a look at the following information.
Stunting and Pandemic
The stunting rate in Indonesia is still at 27.67%. This figure is far above the tolerance limit for the burden of stunting set by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is 20%. This figure brings Indonesia to the fifth highest position with the highest burden of stunting children in the world. This problem was later exacerbated by the presence of the Covid-19 pandemic. The reason is, in addition to shifting the stunting budget to handling Covid-19. Covid-19 can also increase the unemployment rate which in the short term will increase the poverty rate. This means that pregnant women and toddlers who are part of underprivileged families are very vulnerable to stunting.
Cross-Sector Cooperation Against Stunting
The commitment of the Indonesian Government to reduce the number of stunting is not only an agenda. It is stated that stunting is mentioned in one of the health priority agendas of 2020-2024 Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional (RPJMN). The government runs cross-sectoral cooperation to fight to stunt. The government released the Guidebook for Toddler Health Services During the Covid-19 Emergency Response Period by the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2020. Where health services for toddlers in areas with low transmission of COVID-19, adjust the policies of regional heads. However, for areas where the transmission of COVID-19 is relatively high, there are two conditions:
- Self-monitoring of growth and development according to KIA Book
- Monitoring by Health Care Worker Visit
How does Infantometer Board Ease The Mobility of Health Care Workers?
Infantometer Board is one of the crucial tools in detecting stunting in infants and toddlers. Conventional infantometers generally have a heavy load so that it will be difficult for health workers to mobilize to monitor the development of infants and toddlers on a regular basis.
As a form of devotion to the state, Solo Abadi Indonesia innovates in presenting a stunting detection device, the portable Infantometer Board. Not only portable, but the Infantometer Board has several other advantages such as:
1. Unique Portable Design
To support the portable Infantometer Board, Solo Abadi Indonesia presents a ‘puzzle’ design that is easy to put on. We provide a ‘How to Use’ as well as detailed numbers on each part to make it easier to install and use. In addition, unlike the conventional Infantometer Board which has a flat surface, we are very concerned about the comfort and safety of children by presenting a V-Shape design on the surface of the Infantometer Board.
2. Exclusive Bag
Having an uniqure design that is easy to put on makes the Infantometer Board easy to store. Solo Abadi Indonesia not only provides a storage bag that not only functions as a storage area. It can also facilitate mobilization, especially for health workers who are currently at the forefront of the government in fighting stunting. In addition, this storage bag will get you closer to Infantometer Board safely!
3. AKD Standard Instrument
Even though it is classified as a new product, the Infantometer Board has met the standards for the distribution of Domestic Medical Devices or AKD. This instrument is also part of the Stunting Kit where the standard of our Stunting Kit is the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 2 of 2019. So Infantometer Board is highly recommended for posyandu health workers who are currently at the forefront of the Government of Indonesia in reducing stunting rates in Indonesia.
