The high rate of maternal (MMR) and infant mortalities (IMR) is a detrimental health development challenge in Indonesia. The use of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) handbook and MCH service guidelines are the government’s eff orts in reducing the MMR and IMR. However, the reduction of MMR and IMR is still slow. The fi nding of the previous study asserts the need for MCH handbook and MCH service guidelines modifi cations to be suited to the needs of users, both health workers, and expectant mothers. Therefore, this study mainly aims to analyze the needs and use of MCH handbook and service guidelines by doctors and midwives in the primary health centers. The method was qualitative needs analysis with 137 informants from 12 health centers in three regions of Indonesia. The results revealed that the needs of health workers were clustered in three signifi cant aspects; instrumental (language and book-making materials), managerial (procurement, distribution, and dissemination) and operational (ease of access to MCH handbook and service guidelines as well as the availability of SOP). The fulfi llment of these three aspects is expected to improve the MCH program’s achievement, especially in cities where the research took place and other areas with similar characteristics. Abstrak Tingginya Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) dan Angka Kematian Bayi (AKB) masih menjadi masalah dalam pembangunan kesehatan di Indonesia. Penggunaan buku Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak (KIA) serta pedoman pelayanan KIA merupakan upaya pemerintah dalam penurunan AKI dan AKB. Meskipun demikian, penurunan AKI dan AKB dinilai masih lambat. Hasil penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan perlunya modifi kasi buku dan pedoman pelayanan KIA disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan pengguna, baik tenaga kesehatan maupun ibu hamil. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini bermaksud menganalisis kebutuhan dan pemanfaatan buku dan pedoman pelayanan KIA oleh dokter dan bidan di puskesmas. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis kebutuhan kualitatif dengan 137 informan dari 12 puskesmas di tiga Kabupaten/kota di Indonesia. Hasil analisis menunjukkan kebutuhan nakes terkelompok pada tiga aspek utama, yaitu instrumental (bahasa dan bahan pembuat buku), manajerial (pengadaan, pemerataan distribusi dan sosialisasi) dan operasional (kemudahan akses pada buku dan pedoman layanan KIA dan ketersediaan SOP). Pemenuhan terhadap tiga aspek tersebut diharapkan mampu memperbaiki capaian program pelayanan KIA khususnya di wilayah tempat penelitian.

Background: Uttar Pradesh (UP) is the most populous state in India. The maternal mortality ratio, infant mortality rate and fertility rates, are all higher than the national average. Sixty per cent of UP inhabitants live in rural communities. Reasons behind the poor state of health and services in many areas of UP is inadequate knowledge and availability in communities of healthy behaviors and information on available government health services. Methods: World Vision Inc. implemented a three-and-half year mobilizing for maternal and neonatal health through birth spacing and advocacy project (MOMENT), partnering with local organizations in rural Hardoi and urban slums of Lucknow districts in UP. World Vision Inc. used print, audio and visual media, and house-to-house contacts to educate communities on timing and spacing of pregnancies, the benefits of seeking and using maternal and child health (MCH) including immunization, and family planning (FP) services. This paper focuses on World Vision’s Social Accountability strategy – Citizen Voice and Action (CVA) and interface meetings – used in Hardoi that helped, educate and empower Village Health Sanitation and Nutrition Committees (VHSNCs), and village leaders to access “Government Untied Funds” to improve community social and health services. Results: 40 VHSNCs were revived in 24 months. Nine local leaders accessed government untied funds. In addition, increased knowledge of the benefits of timing and spacing of pregnancies, MCH, FP services, and access to community entitlements, led the community to embrace, work together to contribute their time to rebuild and reopen 17 non-functional Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) subcenters. 17 ANMs received refresher training to provide quality care. Sub-center data showed 1,121 and 3,156 women opted for intra-uterine contraceptive device and oral pills respectively and 29,316 condoms were distributed. Conclusion: In Hardoi, UP, education, using CVA, and interface meetings are contributing to increasing the number of government sub-centers that integrate contraceptive services with others such as immunization and antenatal care, bringing care closer and more accessible to women and children, and reducing travel time and cost to families who would have otherwise sought these services from higher level facilities. Social accountability can help mobilize communities to contribute to improving services that affect them.
