The results of the 2023 Indonesia Health Survey show that the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is still 21.5 percent. Compared to the results of the 2022 Indonesia Nutritional Status Survey , that number only decreased by 0.1 percent. This was also conveyed by the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture, Muhadjir Effendy. The targeted prevalence rate of stunting, which is set to reach 14 percent by 2024, is considered highly ambitious. However, he remains optimistic that the current stunting rate could already be reduced to below 20 percent in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals objectives.Indonesia Central Java Anung Sugihantono said, tengkes should not just be seen as just a number.

"In this case, education becomes very important. The target should not only be given food, but also educated on how to choose, process, and serve food correctly so that behavior changes can be formed. So far, interventions have been less precise because they are not focused and everyone is treated the same, even though each individual's risk factors are different," he said.

Despite this, a number of obstacles are still faced in relieving the community from malnutrition in Semarang. These obstacles include the high number of parents who are not open about their child's condition, making it difficult for health officials to provide assistance in improving the child's nutritional status.

This includes commitments and leadership vision; national campaigns and behavior change; convergence of programs at the central, regional, and village levels; food and nutrition security; as well as monitoring and evaluation. Regarding commitments, he hopes that government policies that require the existence of a health care fund in every region will continue to be implemented. This fund can remain one of the indicators of regional performance.
