Model of Government Policy in Reproductive Health Services (In the study of gender equality and women's empowerment)

摘要

Based on SDKI 2012, the rate of maternal deaths was 359 per 100.000. This number is high compared to other ASEAN countries. Reproductive health is a part of human rights and one of SGD's goals. This article is a result of legal research which analysed health regulations in supporting the implementation of reproductive health developments. The government has made relevant policies to provide reproductive health for people such as maternity waiting house provision, policies in reducing delivery assistance by shamans, extra funds and education both for the community and for couples who are planning for marriage. Nevertheless, these policies haven't been supported by the appropriate regulations yet, therefore the legal bindings and law enforcement are less than optimal and are not able to continue on the policies at their strongest for future leadership.
