Nutrition Improvement Program for Toddlers and Pregnant Women in Cilegon City and Serang Regency

To improve the quality of public health, especially for toddlers and pregnant women around the plant area, PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk held a Nutrition Post (Pos Gizi) program which has been carried out from September 2021 until the end of December 2021. In this third year, four locations of Health Center were selected for program implementation. The total beneficiaries of this program are 54 toddlers and 20 pregnant women with Chronic Energy Deficiency. Activities carried out for approximately three months include initial nutrition screening, psychological examination, examination by Pediatrician in collaboration with RSUD Cilegon, monitoring of nutritional status, examination of General Practitioners, and Counseling of Nutritionists. This activity is also complemented by a series of parenting agendas as well as a balanced nutritious food that has been specially prepared by each health center. After the program closes, Nutrition Post participants are monitored on an ongoing basis in collaboration with nutrition officers at the sub-district health center to ensure that nutrition improvements are carried out consistently.
