Health system and quality of care factors contributing to maternal deaths in East Java, Indonesia.

Despite most Indonesian women now receiving antenatal care on the nationally recommended four occasions and being delivered by skilled birth attendants, the nation's maternal mortality ratio (MMR) is estimated as 177 per 100,000 live births. Recent research in a rural district of Indonesia has indicated that poor service quality due to organizational and personnel factors is now a major determinant of this high MMR. The present research is an in-depth analysis of possible health service organizational and quality of care related causes of death among 30 women admitted to a peak referral hospital in a major Indonesian city.

INA-CBGs claim versus total hospital cost: A vaginal delivery investigation at Airlangga University Academic Hospital, Indonesia.

This was a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted from October to December 2019 in Universitas Airlangga Academic Hospital.
