- Abstract
Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is still high in Indonesia compared with that in other ASEAN countries. One under-five age baby dies every three minutes in Indonesia. In addition a woman dies during giving birth or due to other pregnancy-related cause every one hour. Entering into delivery period is a critical period to pregnant women because any possibilities can occur before ending up safely or with death. Facilities and resource related to delivery place are determinants for parturient women. Generally, the decision to select medical treatment made in rural areas should be based on the elder relative or husband’s decision. Thus, it results in to the delayed delivery help leading to fatality. Therefore, in Wonogiri regency, Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) has been established in 2017, aiming to reduce Maternal Mortality Rate. However, socialization about Maternity Waiting Home has not been adequate; as a result the facility provided to poor people with high-risk pregnancy was utilized less maximally by the citizens.
