Aisyiyah’s Advocacy Results in Cirebon District Government’s Support on IVA Tests and Breastfeeding

Aisyiyah Cirebon Regional Leadership for the MAMPU-‘Aisyiyah Program witnessed the signing of Government Circular Letters about IVA tests and breastfeeding for all public health centers (Puskesmas) in Cirebon District by the Head of Cirebon District Health Office, Enny Suhaeni, on Tuesday 6 February 2018. This initiative contributes to improving reproductive health and increasing the understanding and practice of breastfeeding in Cirebon to create a healthy future generation in Indonesia.

“The Government Circular Letter about breastfeeding dealt with one of these issues by establishing breast milk corners and also a more intensive dissemination of information about exclusive breastfeeding. As for the Government Circular Letter on IVA tests, it is about the regular implementation of the tests at the Puskesmas,” said Rita Lindrayati, Coordinator MAMPU-‘Aisyiyah Cirebon. “This Circular Letter will apply in all health centers in Cirebon District,” she said.
