Abstract

The health of pregnant women often becomes an indicator of human development. On the other hand, the fact of the high maternal mortality rate, raises questions related to the government’s attention to the health of pregnant women, especially women in poor areas. This article focuses on poor women’s access to health services for antenatal care and childbirth in five regencies in Indonesia. The aspects studied include the availability of health services for antenatal care and childbirth, poor women’s access to these services, and supporting factors/actors and barriers to poor women’s access to health services. This article showed that the availability of health facilities is not always in line with the increased awareness of pregnant women to access these services. Road infrastructure condition, distance, and cost to access health service still remain a challenge. Meanwhile, the policy of incentives and disincentives to traditional birth attendants has an influence on the increasing number of pregnant women who check their pregnancies and childbirth at health facilities. Thus, health issues of pregnant women and safe childbirth require a different effort. Aspects of the local context and supporting infrastructure also require serious attention.

Abstract

The Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS) is the database used to target beneficiaries of social protection and poverty alleviation programs in Indonesia, including social assistances to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. The problem is that not every kabupaten/kota (district/city) government updates DTKS periodically. As a result, mistargeting has been a repeatedly occurring problem in the implementation of many social protection and poverty alleviation programs. During the pandemic, the problem also results in delayed distribution of assistance. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the current implementation of DTKS updates and learn the lessons to enable a sustainable update of DTKS using a better process in the future. The data was collected qualitatively in six regions of case studies from December 2020 to May 2021. This research finds that the factors influencing sustainable DTKS updates by kabupaten/kota government lead to two main aspects: commitment to update DTKS and capacity to perform it. To make DTKS update better, kabupaten/kota governments need to be encouraged to utilize DTKS more, provided with clear regulations and strengthened in terms of their capacity. While kabupaten/kota governments are responsible for updating DTKS, the governments at central, province, and village/kelurahan levels need to support and be more engaged to ensure that DTKS is updated in a sustainable manner and at a high-quality standard.
