Abstract

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) in Grobogan Regency remains high, with Antenatal Care (ANC) coverage falling short of national targets. The Wirosari II Health Center reports particularly low K6 coverage at 37.92%. This study evaluates ANC service implementation at Purwodadi I and Wirosari II Health Centers to provide improvement recommendations. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation with midwives, maternal and child health workers, and pregnant women. Data validation was conducted via triangulation, and analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model. Findings reveal adequate human resources, but uneven health worker training. Infrastructure is sufficient, though equipment damage hinders Wirosari II. Service procedures align with standards, but SOP violations and limited nutrition personnel were noted in Purwodadi I. While K1 and K4 targets are achieved in Purwodadi I, Wirosari II struggles with recording and networking issues. Overall, ANC implementation in Purwodadi I is effective, while Wirosari II requires improvements in data recording, health worker training, and resource management. These findings provide actionable recommendations to enhance maternal health services in Grobogan Regency.
