The Regency of Natuna has formed 91 Family Facilitator Teams spread across all villages. This team acted as the spearhead of accelerating the reduction of stunting from upstream, especially in prevention, starting from the incubation process to taking other preventive measures from the direct factors that cause stunting.
This was conveyed by the Vice Regent of Natuna, Rodhial Huda, when officially opening the Family Facilitator Orientation, with the theme ‘Efforts to Accelerate Stunting Reduction in Villages,’ at the Natuna Dive Resort (NDR), Sepempang Village, Bunguran Timur District, Thursday (29/08) morning.
