Abstract

This research focuses on evaluating the level of service of pregnant women under Basic Maternal Care and exploring the Health Legal Aspects related to Minimum Service Standards (MSS) in Pemantangsiantar, Indonesia. By examining the factors that influence the role of legal regulations, this research analyzes the implementation of MSS stipulated by Law Number 4 of 2019 on Midwifery. One of the main objectives is to evaluate the role of law in ensuring compliance with MSS to protect the health of pregnant women. This research also seeks effective solutions to reduce the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) through improving standardized maternal care provided by health facilities. The research results emphasize the importance of fulfilling quantity and quality standards, by taking into account the availability of infrastructure, Human Resources (HR), social support, and the awareness of pregnant women. Optimizing the implementation of MSS is the main focus to achieve the research objectives. Additionally, a deep understanding of the health legal framework was identified as an essential factor. The research contributes to policy improvement, educational interventions, and expansion of legal regulations to support quality and equitable maternal health care. Thus, this research becomes the basis for improving the health of pregnant women and achieving service standards set by Regulation of the Minister of Health Number 4 of 2019.
