Factors Influencing Maternal Health Care Use in Indonesia

What is it about?

Getting the Right Care: This study looks at why some Indonesian moms don't use available health services for moms and babies. Even though these services are there to help, many moms aren't using them. We wanted to understand why. We looked at lots of factors like age, money, education, and where they live. We found that some things, like age and how much money a family has, affect whether moms use these services. This research helps us see what can help more moms get the care they need to stay healthy and have healthy babies.
