The Guidebook for the 58th National Nutrition Day Commemoration 2018
Nutrition is one of the components that must be fulfilled by a nation to create a healthy society, especially during the first 1000 days of life. Children under five who are chronically malnourished will have stunting. Children who are stunted will have a height below the normal growth standards for children of their age.Stunting is a big threat to a country, because stunting in children under five can affect their brain (cognitive) development. This will reduce children's achievement academically which in turn will have an impact on deteriorating the quality of Indonesian human resources. With the event of the 58th National Nutrition Day (Hari Gizi Nasional/HGN), we can take strategic steps to improve the nutritional status of the community by reducing stunting, as an investment for the nation to create high-quality and highly competitive human resources.The theme of National Nutrition Day was Building Nutrition Towards a Healthy and Highly Accomplished Nation, and the 58th National Nutrition Day in 2018 had a sub-theme of Actualising Family Independence in the First 1000 Days of Life (Hari Pertama Kehidupan/HPK) for Stunting Prevention with the slogan of Together with Our Families, We Take Care of the First 1000 Days of Life (Hari Pertama Kehidupan/HPK).
