Sofi’s Story: How Blood Lead Testing Protected Her Children

Sofi’s Story: How Blood Lead Testing Protected Her Children

Sofi's daughter Dawi, along with 1,600 other children under five across 12 districts and cities in six provinces in Indonesia, is a beneficiary of the first phase of a blood lead surveillance (BLS) pilot study. Through the Strengthening Health Systems to Reduce Lead Exposure project, Pure Earth and Vital Strategies are working in collaboration with the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia to strengthen the country’s health system in identifying, monitoring, managing, and reducing lead exposure among children—so they can grow and develop to their full potential. This journey has only just begun. Together, we can create a healthier, lead-free future for Indonesia’s children. Support for this project comes from Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.
