"The cooperation aims at improving maternal and child health through the application of KIA guidebook," health ministry`s Director General for KIA Anung Sugihantono stated here on Monday.
He noted that the application of KIA guidebook has been ongoing since early 2014, but the public has yet to realize the importance of the book.
"The target of Millennium Development Goals on maternal and child health has not been achieved, and therefore, the cooperation is expected to raise public awareness on the importance of KIA," he remarked.
According to him, the KIA guidebook could be used by the public to reduce child and maternal mortality in Indonesia. (WDY/WRA)
