<![CDATA[Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) remains a significant global and national health issue, including in Indonesia, where fluctuations indicate that the SDGs target has not yet been achieved. Postpartum infections, particularly those originating from perineal wounds, are among the major contributors to maternal deaths. The healing process of perineal wounds is strongly influenced by proper wound care and adequate nutritional intake. This community service activity aimed to improve pregnant women’s knowledge regarding wound care and nutritional needs to accelerate perineal wound healing and prevent infection. The activity was conducted on July 5, 2025, in Jempong Baru Village, Mataram City, through three stages: pretest, health education delivery using lectures and audiovisual media, and posttest. A total of 25 pregnant women participated. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge, with the proportion of participants in the “good” knowledge category rising from 8% in the pretest to 76% in the posttest. Health education proved effective as a promotive–preventive intervention to enhance women’s understanding of the importance of wound care and nutrition in the healing process. This activity is expected to contribute to reducing postpartum infection risks and support efforts to lower maternal mortality.]]>
