Toddlers' health, he added, is improved by giving supplementary feeding (PMT), formula milk, UHT milk, vitamins, and zinc supplements for toddlers with nutritional problems every day during the intervention period according to nutritionist recommendations.
He explained, toddlers' health development is also monitored by measuring their weight and height at Cakung Health Center's Captasi (stands for Cakung Care Against Nutrition Problems) Nutrition post which carried out routinely once a week.
"In order to develop human resources, this effort is supported by increasing mother's knowledge through Mama Hebat (stands for skillful in cooking the right food for toddlers) socialization program supported by Cakung Health Center," he said.
This Mama Hebat socialization program targets toddlers' mothers, pregnant women, and women of childbearing age, by teaching them how to cook healthy and nutritionally balanced food, manage toddler tantrums, and adopt a clean and healthy lifestyle to support healthy toddlers, which is carried out weekly.
The health of toddlers with nutritional problems should be monitored during intervention period and produced satisfactory results by increasing body weight and height.
"I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for the contributions from Cakung Sub-agency Health Center, Jatinegara Urban Village Health Center, Rawaterate Urban Village Health Center, PKK cadres, and all related parties who support this program," he closed.
