Penjabat Gubernur Papua Ajak ASN di Keerom jadi Bapak Asuh Anak Stunting

JAYAPURA - Penjabat Gubernur Papua Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun mengajak aparatur sipil negara (ASN) di Kabupaten Keerom, menjadi bapak asuh anak stunting, guna mengatasi masalah kurangnya asupan gizi dalam jangka waktu panjang di wilayah tersebut.

Hal demikian disampaikan Gubernur Rumasukun dalam kunjungan kerjanya di Puskesmas Arso Barat, Kabupaten Keerom, Rabu (8/11/2023). Kehadiran Gubernur ke Keerom dalam rangka penyerahan bantuan mempercepat penurunan stunting.

"Kalau bisa pak bupati (Keerom), untuk seluruh ASN di Keerom menjadi bapak asuh untuk anak yang kena stunting."

"Kalau sekitar 400 anak mengalami stunting, mungkin 1 orang dibiayai selama 6 bulan dengan dua rak telur setiap bulannya. Kenapa kita harus lakukan ini, karena anak-anak ini yang diharapkan jadi generasi penerus pembangunan di 2045 mendatang," tegas Rumasukun.

Sementara data stunting hasil pengukuran 11 Distrik atau 12 Puskesmas di Keerom, terdapat 469 jumlah penderita stunting. Tertinggi berada di Arso Barat dengan 141 stunting.  

"Untuk itu, saya mohon dukungan seluruh masyarakat di Keerom, karena penurunan stunting harus dilakukan secara bersama-sama, mesti ada kolaborasi dan tidak bisa sendiri-sendiri.

"Tidak hanya di stunting juga, mesti sampai pada kegiatan pendidikan. Sehingga para anak-anak ini siap menghadapi perubahan di 2045 mendatang, dengan mengisi kemerdekaan untuk mengganti kita meneruskan pembangunan," tandas dia. ***

JAYAPURA - Acting Governor of Papua Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun invited the state civil apparatus (ASN) in Keerom Regency, to become the foster father of stunting children, to overcome the problem of long-term lack of nutritional intake in the region.

This was conveyed by Governor Rumasukun during his working visit at the West Arso Health Center, Keerom Regency, Wednesday (8/11/2023). The presence of the Governor to Keerom to deliver assistance accelerated the reduction of stunting.

"If possible, the regent of Keerom, for all civil servants in Keerom to be foster fathers for children who are stunted."

"If around 400 children are stunted, maybe 1 person is funded for 6 months with two racks of egg every month. Why should we do this, because these  children are expected to be the next generation of development in 2045," said Rumasukun.

While stunting data measured by 11 districts or 12 health centers in Keerom, there are 469 stunting sufferers. The highest was in West Arso with 141 stunting.

"For this reason, please support all communities in Keerom, because stunting reduction must be done together, there must be collaboration and cannot be alone.

"Not only stunting, but also educational activities. So that these children are ready to face change in 2045, by filling the independence to replace us to continue development," he said. ***
