Health development policies in 2010-2014 are directed to enable availability of fundamemntal helalth access that cheap and affordable especially for the lower-middle gorups. This is indicated by increasing life expectancy, infant mortality and maternal mortality. One of the health priority programs is Nutrition Program and the Maternal and Child Health (MCH). Methods: This research is quantitative research. Analysis method uses a simple regression. Research data are secondary data in 2012 of 35 districts/cities in Central Java Province. Results: The realization of Health Operational Fund (HOF) is significant ( Sig.0,000 < ±=1%) on neonatus first visit/KN1, the realization of Health Operational Fund (HOF) is significant ( Sig.0,000 < ±=1%) on assistance by skilled health personnel/ Pn, and the realization of Health Operational Fund (HOF) is significant ( Sig.0,000 < ±=1%) on children weighing or D/S. Coefficient of determination (r ²) is 0.629 for the effect of HOF on KN1, 0.636 for the effect of HOF on Pn, and 0.690 for HOF on D/S. The result of classical assumptions shows that residual variables are normally distributed, despite heteroscedasticity and despite autoccorelation. Conclusion: HOF has positive effect and significant on KN1, HOF has positive effect and significant on Pn, and HOF has positive effect and significant on D/S Key Words: HOF, MCH Nutrition, Simple Regression, Central Java
