"We send the assistance to Semper Barat, Cilincing Sub-district and also other locations that are pilot stunting reductions in Pademangan and Penjaringan areas," she expressed, Tuesday (2/15).

She hoped that it could motivate the Posyandu cadres to be more enthusiastic in providing health services and monitoring the health development of toddlers. By so, the stunting alleviation target in North Jakarta could be realized immediately.

Semper Barat Urban Village TP PKK Pokja IV Chairwoman, Sudarmi added that the assistance was much needed. In general, in Semper Barat, there are about 41 units of Posyandu with a total of 4,000 children under five.

"This is very helpful for optimizing Posyandu activities. Thank you for the help," she stated.
