<![CDATA[Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) still remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia. The role of obstetricians and midwives is crucial in efforts to reduce maternal mortality through quality maternal healthcare services. This study discusses the role of obstetricians in maintaining the health of pregnant women and lowering MMR in accordance with the latest regulations and applicable healthcare practices. The method used is a literature study by analyzing various laws, regulations, health statistics data, as well as national and international scientific journals. The results of the study indicate that obstetricians play an important role in three main aspects: early prevention through pre-marital education and counseling, comprehensive management of pregnancy up to the childbirth process, and handling emergency obstetric complications. The implementation of the latest regulations, such as Law Number 4 of 2024 on Maternal and Child Welfare and Government Regulation Number 28 of 2024, demonstrates the government's commitment to improving the quality of maternal healthcare services. The research conclusion emphasizes that enhancing the role of obstetricians through improved competence, balanced distribution of medical personnel, and strengthening the referral system can make a significant contribution to reducing maternal mortality rates in Indonesia.]]>
