East Nusa Tenggara has traditionally been considered as one of the regions where maternal and child mortality is high. At the same time, UN MDGs call all countries for substantial reductions in child and maternal mortality by three-quarters by 2015 (from 1990 levels). Accordingly, Indonesia and NTT need to have a strong commitment program. Reducing maternal and child deaths are one of the 2015-2019 Ministry of Health strategic programs. Mothers are still experiencing high maternal deaths, HIV cases, poor nutrition status and non-communicable diseases. President Joko Widodo stated the importance for improving mothers’ health and wellbeing to influence better early-age health outcomes which also part of the national priority.
