Anthropometry kits are a crucial need today in stunting detection efforts in every region in Indonesia. This tool is a measuring instrument that includes a stadiometer (baby height meter), infantometer (baby length gauge), mother and child digital scales, and a head circumference arm circumference measuring instrument (LILA). The function of this tool is to find out which children are at risk of stunting or not.
The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia appealed to the Health Office of each region to strive for the procurement of anthropometry kits into a must-have health facility. The anthropometric needs budget itself is currently included in the Special Allocation Fund (physical) each year. Considering that stunting cases in Indonesia are still high at 24%. Even though WHO instructed to reduce stunting below the 14% mark. For this reason, reducing stunting in Indonesia is our top priority together.
Currently, all lines of the health sector, both central and regional health offices are working to reduce stunting. Starting with routine detection every month in two-year-olds through anthropometric measurements by posyandu cadres and health workers. Before taking measurements, make sure the cadres ensure that the measuring instruments used have been realized by the Ministry of Health and have TKDN. This short article will be explained anthropometry kits with TKDN certification.

TKDN is the Main Requirement the Needs of Anthropometry Kit
The Indonesian Ministry of Health instructs health offices per region in Indonesia to select the needs of anthropometry kits have certified by TKDN. TKDN or Domestic Component Level is the number of domestic components in a combination of goods and services.
This is enforced to suppress the purchase of domestic products. The President of the Republic of Indonesia himself also instructed the increase in domestic products to suppress the pace of the country’s economy and also reduce the purchase of imported products.
The amount of TKDN in anthropometry kits is at least 25% or BMP is increased by TKDN to 40%. For this reason, all domestic products that have TKDN certification must be purchased in the use of government facilities.
