EVALUATION THE POLICY OF MATERNITY WAITING HOMES (MWH) IN KONAWE DISTRICT OF SOUTHEAST SULAWESI PROVINCE IN 2016
Abstract
Background: The high maternal mortality rate (MMR) in Indonesia
prompted the government to issue a Jampersal fund policy. One of
the objectives of Jampersal fund is to provide budget for operational
activities of Maternity Waiting Home (MWH) Program, a government
strategy to facilitate access of pregnant mother to get health service
to overcome pregnant, childbirth and childbirth problems as an effort
to decrease maternal MMR in Indonesia.
Objective: To describe the implementation of MWH policy as an
effort to facilitate pregnant women, childbirth, and postpartum to get
access to health service in Konawe Regency of Southeast Sulawesi Province.
Methods: The study was descriptive using qualitative design with
case study approach focusing on developing in-depth description
and analysis of cases also studying MWH program.
Results: MWH Program in Konawe Regency has been running for
one year but there was still one Puskesmas that has not run the
MWH program because the location of Puskesmas is far from the
citizen’s residence. MWH is not only used by pregnant women who
are far from the health facility and have a high risk but also used
for all pregnant women who will give birth. MWH already meets the
criteria set by the Ministry of Health. The operational cost of the
waiting house guarantees all the costs of pregnant and family needs
during their stay. The obstacles to MWH programs were disbursement of funds, rejection of pregnant women to the waiting house and difficult road access.
Conclusion: MWH Program has been effective because it has
been used by all pregnant women who have risk and who will give
birth are placed in the waiting house of birth. The barriers that exist
during the MWH program runs were disbursement of funds, the
rejection of pregnant women into waiting homes and difficult road access.
