When 22-month-old Jevan was discharged from the puskesmas (health centre) in March, his mother Magdalena Naimuni was filled with joy, but also worry. After being treated for more than a month for severe wasting, Jevan’s nutritional status had returned to normal.
To avoid relapse, Jevan needed to be regularly screened for any recurrence of wasting in a posyandu (community health post). But as he was discharged, COVID-19 restrictions began to suspend health services in Kupang municipality.
“I clearly remember the health staff telling me that I should take Jevan to the posyandu every month so that his nutritional status could be closely monitored,” said Magdalena. “But the posyandu services were postponed and visits to the puskesmas were also limited, so I had no way of knowing if Jevan had a problem.”
