Article Synopsis
- A study conducted on neonatal deaths between June and December 2018 in two districts of Java revealed that 73% of fatal illnesses in neonates began at their delivery facilities, with early illness onset and higher rates of maternal complications.
- Mothers with neonatal complications faced longer care-seeking times and a significant association was found between the site of illness onset and maternal health issues, suggesting improvements in maternal care could enhance neonatal survival rates.
Background: Despite the increased access to facility-based delivery in Indonesia, the country's maternal mortality remains unacceptably high. Reducing maternal mortality requires a good understanding of the care-seeking pathways for maternal complications, especially with the government moving toward universal health coverage. This study examined care-seeking practices and health insurance in instances of pregnancy-related deaths in Jember District, East Java, Indonesia.

Yet, there is a paucity of information on contributing factors and causes of neonatal deaths, particularly at the sub-national level. This study describes care-seeking during neonates' fatal illnesses and their causes of death.

This study examines the completeness of maternal death reporting by the district health office (DHO) system in Banten Province.
Method: We used a nested-control study design to compare data on maternal deaths in 2016 from the DHO reporting system and the MADE-IN/MADE-FOR method in two districts and one municipality in Banten Province, with the aim of identifying and characterizing missed deaths in the DHO reporting system.
