Abstract
The status of Maternal and Neonatal Health (MNH) is a marker of society’s commitment to women and children. The Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS) data indicates neonatal mortality has platitude and IDHS 2012 found an estimated Maternal Mortality Ratio of 359 per 100,000 live births. Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) was not met, then, the future efforts have been accommodated through Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The main objective of this study is to analyse a social development pattern of maternal and new-born health issues in Indonesia and to find out the evidence-based on barriers to access on MNH services. This study reveals that there are wide disparities in MNH outcomes and service coverage across the provinces of Indonesia and the worst outcomes tending towards the eastern islands of Papua and West Papua, Nusa Tenggara and Maluku. Within provinces and districts, inequalities in MNH outcomes according to wealth, well-being, mother’s education, and location of residence exist. The evidence-based on barriers to access on MNH services are varies and the main barriers are including, home-based, community-based, journey-based and service-based barriers. This reinforces the need for context specific programming at the district level, according to the geographical context and socio-economic conditions of the target group.
