Summary
Health development is an important part of a nation’s development and is a basic service from the state to its people so that the highest degree of public health can be realized as an investment for the development of productive human resources (Phua et al, 2020; Shijagurumayum Acharya et al, 2015; Tonmoy et al, 2020). The West Java Provincial Health Office notes that the maternal and neonatal mortality rate in a number of cities and districts in West Java are still quite high, according to the Head of the West Java Provincial Health Office the number of maternal deaths in 2015 reached 823 cases from the number of births reaching 951 thousand, meaning MMR reached 87 per 100,000 live births. The program has not run optimally because many parties are needed to help the process of socialization to the community limited by the Office’s ability to reach people in remote areas
