KEMATIAN IBU : SUATU TINJAUAN SOSIAL-BUDAYA
Abstrack: Mother mortality
rate in Indonesia remains considerably high. The cause of maternal mortality
indirectly is much related with the problems of poverty, the independent role
of women in decision making within the family, and the public health services,
which continues to be a centralistic-bureaucracy. In Costa Rica, Srilanka, and
Kerala province in India, even though the majority of their citizens are poor
as in Indonesia the maternal mortality is falling significantly. The reason
that make this possible is because a strategy and a program of women
empowerment in making independent decisions have been developed together with a
model of participative public health services, which is cooperatively carried
out by government and local community institutions dealing with community
health problems that are affordable and comprehend for the economy and
education of the community. The society and government of Indonesia may get a
lesson by learning from the strategy and health programs from those three
countries.
