Abstract

Maternal mortality in Indonesia is still high. One of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country is in the Sampang regency. The high number of deliveries performed by the medicaster is detrimental and endangers the safety of both mother and baby. This is because the medicaster does not have the sufficient skills and/or ability to deal with complications that can occur during and after childbirth. To reduce the rate of maternal mortality, it is necessary to develop a policy that can overcome the barriers against the efforts to make pregnancy safer. One of the strategies is Making Pregnancy Safer (MPS), in order to overcome maternal problems. Being assisted by health personnel will reduce the risk of maternal morbidity and mortality. This study has used qualitative methods using secondary data from other research studies. The findings have been analysed using descriptive analysis. The evaluation and assessment of the success of the program was conducted by the health services in cooperation with the government. The policy can be measured using the key indicators: K-4 coverage, delivery by skilled health personnel, and the maternal and infant mortality rates.
