Effective Coverage Pelayanan Antenatal Care di Puskesmas Lumban Lobu Kecamatan Bonatua Lunasi Kabupaten Toba

Abstract

Development in the health sector is very important to improve the quality of human resources. The Maternal and Infant Mortality Rate is an indicator of the degree of health and the success of implementing health development. Reducing MMR and IMR is a goal and target of health development. ANC services aim to accelerate the decline in MMR and IMR by ensuring that every pregnant woman has good access to quality maternal health services. Quality ANC services can be seen by measuring the effective coverage of these services, namely to find out how many pregnant women receive quality ANC services, in accordance with the standards. The research method used is descriptive in nature, using qualitative research methods to see the effective coverage of antenatal care services. Data collection in this study was carried out by means of in-depth interviews, direct observation, and viewing all MCH Poly documents and MCH books for pregnant women related to the research title. The results showed that ANC services at the Lumban Lobu Health Center had reached the effective coverage stage. The services provided are in accordance with established standards, namely a minimum of 6 visits, and the examinations provided include 10 T of pregnancy checks with a minimum of 2 examinations by a doctor. There were no cases of LBW, maternal deaths, or infant deaths, and all babies were born under normal conditions and the mothers were in good health. It is hoped that the ANC services provided can be maintained and improved so that in the future the maternal health services provided will be of higher quality.
