<![CDATA[Congenital hypothyroidism, hereinafter abbreviated as HK, is a state of decreased or non-functioning thyroid gland that is acquired from birth onwards. This occurs due to anatomic abnormalities or metabolic disorders in the formation of thyroid hormone or iodine deficiency. The Bintan health office has also implemented the SHK program for newborns. In 2017 SHK had not been implemented at all in Bintan. Whereas in 2019 it was carried out but only 2.7% had just been implemented, namely out of 1353 babies only 49 babies were screened for hypothyroidism and the results of 49 who were screened were declared negative for hypothyroidism.
