Furthermore, Vice Chairperson of the Unram Anniversary Committee, Dr. dr. Rifana Cholidah, M.Sc., explained that the Nipah Community Health Center was chosen as the location of the social service because of the high stunting rate in the area.

In addition to health services, the counselling session presented by dr. Ario Danianto, Sp.OG., Subsp.K.Fm., became one of the main agenda that was highly enthused by the participants. He gave an in-depth explanation about the importance of preventing stunting from an early age, especially for pregnant women and families with young children.
