| dc.description.abstract | Contents: Maternal mortality becomes a complicated issue in Indonesia even in the world. Various programs
and policies have been implemented, ranging from safe motherhood, maternal movement, making pregnancy
safe, to the GOLD program. Nevertheless, the decline target has not been achieved. Issue: Indonesia,
Maternal mortality is still high, 305 per 100,000 born alive. There are various points of concern which
the factor of the cause of death from year to year is relatively fixed, the distribution of each province with
coverage rate exceeds the target average. Visits on medical services were also high (average performance
above 79%). It means that even if health services have been provided, there are basic factors that need to be
explored about the difference in distribution results in each region. Also, the maternal mortality and infant
mortality causing factors, almost always the same from time to time, while strengthening Government rules
and policies have been increasing. We need to examine, that there are important things that we must control
for community empowerment to be a solution for the reduction of MMR in Indonesia. Lessons learned:
Indonesia is an archipelago, where each region has different local wisdom. To be able to reducematernal
mortality and infant mortality in Indonesia, health workers must be able to manage the program in the right
way. A cultural approach to bargaining power in efforts to achieve the reduction of maternal mortality and
infant mortality in Indonesia. | en_US |
