Initially, it was targeted to test 76 pregnant women and 15 toddlers. But it couldn't reach the target thus health workers visited houses of pregnant women and toddlers who have been recorded at RW 01,02, and 04.

Kramat Jati Puskesmas Head, Inda Mutiara conveyed, there were 46 pregnant women and 2 toddlers who were tested.

"Because total participants don't meet the target, so we visit residents' houses and encourage them to take the test," she explained, Friday (6/12).
