(SCORA CIMSA Unand in Anticipating Maternal Deaths)
SCORA CIMSA-BEM KM FK Unand
According to WHO, UNFPA, and UNICEF approximately 295.000 women died during and after pregnancy in 2017. Most of these deaths (94%) occurred in developing countries, and most were preventable. Between 2000 and 2017, the Maternal Mortality Rate (the number of maternal deaths per 100.000 live births) fell by about 38% worldwide, from 342 deaths to 211 deaths per 100.000 live births. This figure is still relatively high compared to the 3 points 1 SDGs target “By 2030, reduce the global maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100.000 live births”.
Meanwhile, in Indonesia, according to the 2015 Survei Penduduk Antar Sensus (SUPAS) 2015, the Indonesian MMR ratio is 305 per 100.000 live births with a target of 232 per 100.000 live births in 2021 as stated in the RPJMN Indonesia 2020-2024. Based on the Health Profile of Padang in 2019, there were 16 cases of maternal death in Padang. This number is down compared to 2018, which was 17 cases.
MANDEH 2.0 (SCORA CIMSA Unand in Anticipating Maternal Deaths) is a sustainable project held by SCORA CIMSA-BEM KM FK Unand at RT 04 RW 07 Pasar Ambacang and RT 01 RW 02 Kampung Sikumbang, Kelurahan Lubuk Lintah. It has been held since 2018 and this year held again in August-September 2021.
On September 18, SCORA CIMSA BEM KM FK Unand held a MANDEH 2.0 2021 Webinar with the theme is Maternal Health in Covid-19 Pandemic. The first material was delivered by dr. Nida Rohmawati, MPH from the Maternal and Neonatal Health Coordinator of the Ministry of Health Indonesia. Mrs. Nida presented the material with the title Strengthening KIA book utilization and detection of high risk of pregnancy. KIA books are very important to be understood by doctors, midwives, or pregnant women. By understanding the KIA book well, it is expected to reduce maternal mortality in Indonesia.
Furthermore, the second material was delivered by Rizky Suryaning Utami from Bidan Initiator Indonesia. Mrs. Rizky delivered material about Hypertension in Pregnant Women and Its Handling during the Pandemic. Hypertension that occurs in pregnant women is very dangerous for pregnant women.
It is hoped that this webinar can share useful knowledge to the general public related to the importance of KIA books and the dangers of hypertension in pregnant women and childbirth.
