Background: Riskesdas 2013 data show that 43.2% of births are still at home. This situation leads to the risk of delay in obtaining services in case of obstetric and neonatal complications. According to WHO data, about 15-20% of pregnancies have a risk of complications that require adequate emergency care. Therefore, the readiness of healthcare facilities in Poskesdes or in the Midwife of Independent Practice (BPM) is needed. The culture of the Timorese Timor Tengah Selatan (TTS) is the mother is required to give birth at home round and get treatment for 40 days by a shaman or someone who is believed to have experience of caring for the mother of childbirth. Treatment of postpartum is usually a taboo of certain foods, roasted fire, and tatobi. The provision or restriction to be followed by the puerperal mother is not allowed to go out for 40 days except to the bathroom. The midwife's midwife competency is midwives providing high-quality and comprehensive care to families, groups, and communities in accordance with the local culture. As midwives in the midwife community must be able to recognize the cultures that exist in the community and should be able to determine which culture is still applicable to mothers and cultures that are detrimental to mothers and infants, besides the midwife is required to play an active role in facing the culture so as to improve the welfare mother and infant matching goals 4 and 5 of MDG's.
