In 2023, Banjar Regency will occupy third position with a prevalence of stunting of 26.4%. This shows that the prevalence rate of stunting is higher than the figure in South Kalimantan Province. This activity aims to assist monitoring carried out by village midwives to reduce the number of incidents in Takuti village, the working area of ​​the UPTD public health center Mataraman.
