Commitment Title
Online Applications to Achieve Minimum Service Standards for Pregnant Women
Problem
- After being successfully declined in 2019 (from 364 to 71 per 100000 live birth), the maternal mortality rate in Banggai Regency shows an escalation in 2020 from 71 to 263 per 100000 live birth.
- The escalation of MMR in 2020 might have been caused by the restriction in community activity due to covid 19 pandemic, so the routine health service for pregnant women that usually taken place at POSYANDU and home visits cannot be done.
- Difficultness in digitalized data management. Data of pregnant women in Banggai Regency are still not being digitalized recorded, so it is difficult for health service officers or midwives to monitor and assess the degree of risk in real-time.
- Provide online services to maximized the communication between pregnant women and midwives in the term of health consultation (self-assessment data, sign and symptoms) therefore pregnant women can be monitored real-time by midwives.
- Provide online-based health service to increase the scope of minimum health service standard for pregnant women.
- Mobile apps (online-based health services) is needed to monitoring pregnant women who are at high risk and also as a prevention management system of maternal death
Status quo
- In 2020, the percentage of pregnant women who received the minimum health services standard fall from 94,2% (2019) to 86,9%. Due to covid-19 pandemic, a mass gathering is restricted and so the Posyandu and other community-based health services. Furthermore, being infected by health officer during home visiting became a concern for pregnant women and their family.
- Development of mobile apps (online-based) for pregnant women is expected to overcome those difficulties.
- There is a local start-up in Banggai Regency called DRAIV, that enable to provide online-based monitoring health services for pregnant women.
- DRAIV, a start-up that already has 20 thousand costumers, has agreed to add the minimum health service standard for pregnant women as its new feature
