Maternal health issues has been inside development program since decades ago. However,
maternal health indicators remains unconvincing. Maternal mortality, chronic mal nutrition
among pregnant mothers, anemia, incomplete ANC, low birth with still show unsatisfactory
level. While the factors are multi sectoral, not much intervention is seen in other
development sectors. Given the chronic health issues, maternal health is no longer
attractive issues even though they are linked to many different pathways toward health and
well being. On the other hand development program shifting attention to other exciting
issues like climate change, social protection, poverty eradication, infra structure,
information technology network etc.
Other development program like social protection, stunting reduction program, family
welfare program, gender equity program include maternal health indicators in their
program attainment indicators. Meaning that maternal health and safe motherhood can be
included into other program as part of measure of other programs. When maternal health
and safe motherhood indicators can be mainstreamed into success indicators of other
programs, it can help safe motherhood and maternal health be continuously visible and be
reference to examine the success. Gaps in improving safe motherhood indicators within
other development programs, can refer back to the effort how maternal health issues is
attended. Mainstream maternal health and safe motherhood indicators into other
development program success indicators is promising to maintain the issues on the surface.

Isu kesehatan ibu telah masuk dalam program pembangunan sejak puluhan tahun lalu.
Namun, indikator kesehatan ibu masih belum meyakinkan. Kematian ibu, gizi buruk kronis
pada ibu hamil, anemia, ANC tidak lengkap, kelahiran rendah dengan tingkat yang masih
kurang memuaskan. Sementara faktor-faktornya bersifat multi sektoral, tidak banyak
intervensi terlihat di sektor-sektor pembangunan lainnya. Mengingat masalah kesehatan
kronis, kesehatan ibu tidak lagi menjadi masalah yang menarik meskipun terkait dengan
banyak jalur berbeda menuju kesehatan dan kesejahteraan. Di sisi lain program pembangunan
mengalihkan perhatian pada isu-isu menarik lainnya seperti perubahan iklim, perlindungan
sosial, pengentasan kemiskinan, infrastruktur, jaringan teknologi informasi dll.
