Stunting is not a disease but a condition of impaired development of children's growth, especially in the 10000 days of growth, which is caused by a lack of nutritional intake that can interfere with brain and physical growth so that complaints arise that children will be shorter than their age friends, sickly, intelligence decreases so productivity also increases. decrease. In addition, editing can also be caused by other factors such as parenting, poor sanitation, an unhealthy environment so that children get sick, repeated infections and premature birth.
The BKKBN has carried out various stunting prevention efforts from upstream, including reproductive health counseling, giving blood-boosting vitamins and screening prospective brides, where prospective brides are required to have a health screening 3 months before marriage to check the nutritional status and HB of young female brides. This is done to ensure that every bride-to-be is in ideal condition to get married and get pregnant. BKKBN itself has launched the Electronic Application for Marriage and Pregnancy (ELSIMIL). ELSIMIL is a screening and mentoring application for prospective brides (Catin). Each Catin couple will receive assistance from the Family Assistance Team (TPK) located in the same Village/Kelurahan as Catin's domicile area. The purpose of the ELSIMIL application is to carry out early detection of Catin's health to mitigate the risk of giving birth to stunting babies.
Stunting prevention efforts must be carried out with the synergy of all components of society involving multi-stakeholders, be it the government, academics, media, and the PKK Mobilization Team which is the Government's partner who has the mandate and responsibility to actively participate in accelerating the reduction of stunting.
