- Abstract
- Objectives: To increase understanding of the reasons women choose either facilities or non-facilities for delivery. Methods: A total of 300 women, both postpartum and pregnant, were interviewed in 4 districts in Indonesia. The survey includes questions from the Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey as well as newly created questions. Results: For postpartum facility deliveries, women cited quality of care, knowledge of maternal and child safety and physical access as reasons for choosing a facility. Non-facility deliveries cited cost, quality of care and physical access as barriers which, if removed, would encourage them to deliver in a facility. Conclusions: The government of Indonesia needs to roll-out their public health insurance scheme, jampersal, which will alleviate the costs of facility delivery. Educational campaigns are needed to inform women about the dangers of delivering at home.
