Mother and Child Can Fulfill the Need for Quality Drinking Water When Going Home by Visiting the OPOR Post

"Mother and Child Can Fulfill the Need for Quality Drinking Water When Going Home by Visiting the OPOR Post"

Dream - Long and time-consuming homecoming trips make it difficult for some people to find basic necessities such as clean water. However, drinking water is an essential need, especially for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers and children.

Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers, as well as children, need high-quality and hygienic drinking water to maintain their health during the journey back home. Low-quality drinking water usually lacks sufficient minerals and its packaging is contaminated with BPA.

"The content of BPA in drinking water packaging is certainly concerning, especially for pregnant women and babies. However, what is more important is how society can be smarter and more careful in choosing packaged drinking water, ensuring that the packaging is free from BPA content."
tutur Ade Jubaedah, General Chairperson of the Indonesian Midwives Association (IBI).

Furthermore, Ade revealed that the quality minerals in drinking water include sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium bicarbonate, and chloride.

Fortunately, quality drinking water supplies can be obtained at the OPOR Bu Bidan Post, which can be found at several points along the homecoming route. The post itself is established in commemoration of the 73rd anniversary of the Indonesian Midwives Association (IBI) and International Day of the Midwife (IDM) in 2024.

Apart from drinking water, the post also provides several other needs for mothers and children, such as additional food or drinks for pregnant women and children, vitamins, supplements, contraceptive pills or condoms, baby diapers, and women's sanitary pads. The availability of several basic needs for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and children can make the community feel safer and more comfortable during the homecoming journey. Moreover, women, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and toddlers are vulnerable groups that need special attention.

"In addition, the community can find health services at the OPOR Bu Bidan Post which are provided directly by professional staff since the implementation of this program on Saturday, April 6, 2024."

"Not only providing services, professional midwives also provide education about the health of mothers and children at the post. One of the topics is the importance of sufficient intake of quality drinking water for mothers and children. The lack of quality mineral water during pregnancy can affect the personal health and fetus in the womb."
