Abstract

The health development target to be achieved by 2025 is to improve public health, one of which is indicated by a decrease in the maternal mortality rate. The Maternal Mortality Rate Target in the 2015-2019 Strategic Plan is 306 per 100,000 live births. The causes of the high maternal mortality rate are influenced by many factors, including bleeding, pre-eclampsia, heart disease, and infection. The methods used in implementing this activity include refresher training and technical guidance for cadres on early detection and initial management of maternal emergencies, things that need to be prepared in accompanying pregnant women to health facilities. Based on the evaluation results, there has been a significant increase in the cadre's abilities, this is indicated by the pre-test results, the lowest score was 18, the highest score was 68, and the average score was 42.4. Meanwhile, the post-test results obtained the lowest score was 50 and the highest score was 88, with an average score of 75.4. Increasing the role of health cadres in early detection and referral of maternal and child health cases, especially in cases of childbirth referrals, in the context of preparedness and readiness for complications for mothers and newborns, is expected to reduce maternal and child mortality rates.
