For the Committee, and its subcommittee most closely involved, Dr. Christopherson and Dr. Yankauer replied to this letter as follows: At one stage in the development of the Committee's Statement on Child Health and Community Health Centers in the Americas, it included almost all the points which Dr. Elbualy has raised in his letter. These were eventually reduced to a few words in the eighth and ninth paragraphs of the published statement which refer to the "overwhelming social, economic, and cultural inequities and inadequacies" which lead to high mortality among the children of the poor.

Regional Health Information System (RHIS) is an integrated Health Information System which effectively functions as data communication in a region. This system has been used since 2012. However, it has not shown best performance. Puskesmas (Community Health Centers) send their regular reports in the form of soft copy or hard copy. However, DKK has not verified the reports on the maternal child health regularly. Moreover, they retype the report to be sent to the Ministry of Health. It results in possibility of errors in its accuracy and validity. Thus, it requires further evaluation to improve the implementation of RHIS especially in recording and reporting maternal child health to the Ministry of Health. The objective of this research is to analyze the maternal child health data recording and reporting system in RHIS Surakarta.This is a qualitative research. Data were collected by deep interview and direct observation on the implementation of the RHIS. Object of this research is the recording and reporting system of Maternal Child Health in the RHIS DKK Surakarta. The main informant is the head and the staffs of SIMKES, midwifes coordinators of SIK in 6 Community Health Centers.The results of this study propose that improvement on human resources competences should be done regularly. The data of maternal child health are taken from community health centers. That is why, there should be proper policy on the reporting the data of maternal child health. The report sent should be filed in soft copy and hard copy. Nevertheless, the available data have been processed by community health centers and are accessible for public needs.This study proposes that the recording and reporting system of maternal child health data should be developed by improving the competences of human resources, decreeing operational policy, and providing standard operating procedure.

Abstract: Search behavior of dental disease treatment in society. Tooth decay can cause pain and chewing disorders that affect the health of parts of the body. Most sufferers will seek treatment because of pain in their teeth. treatment includes three interrelated sectors, namely household medicine/self-medication using drugs, traditional medicines, or traditional methods, medical treatment done by nurses, doctors, health centers or hospitals, and traditional medicine. The purpose of this study is to obtain in-depth information about the factors that cause the behavior of the people of Kupang to choose traditional medicine or self-medication. This research uses the Rapid Assessment Procedure (RAP) design. The sample in this study were informants who were experiencing or had experienced toothache aged 18 years and over. The results showed that almost all Informants (10) knew what dental caries was and the causes of dental caries, knew the risk of tooth cavities were left and not patched and knew that dental caries/cavities could only be overcome by going to the community health centers to be patched at the Poly tooth. Perceptions of traditional medicine informants assume that traditional medicine can treat pain only temporarily. Perception of Modern Medicine, most informants had visited the 9 health centers, the informants considered that the problem of toothache could be overcome by going to the health center for treatment. 7 of 9 informants had treated their teeth by using traditional or modern medicine, 3 out of 9 The informant assumed that his tooth problems were not resolved because his sick teeth had recurred after being patched. The cost of treatment at the community health centers is not an obstacle for informants because almost all informants use health cards / BPJS. 4 The informant considers that the transportation costs incurred from the place of residence to the community health centers are quite expensive.

Persepsi terhadap Pengobatan Modern sebagian besar informan pernah berkunjung ke Puskesmas 9 informan menganggap bahwa permasalahan sakit gigi dapat di atasi dengan pergi ke Puskesmas untuk dilakukan perawatan, 7 Informan dari 9 Informan tersebut pernah mengobati giginya sendiri dengan  mengguunakan obat tradisional ataupun obat modern, 3 dari 9 Informan tersebut menganggap bahwa permasalahan giginya tidak teratasi karena giginya yang sakit kambuh lagi setelah di tambal. Biaya berobat di puskesmas tidak menjadi hambatan bagi informan Karena hampir semua Informan menggunakan kartu sehat/ BPJS. 4 Informan menganggap bahwa biaya transportasi yang dikeluarkan dari tempat tinggal sampai di puskesmas cukup mahal.

The Masses

Those of us interested in the health (health in its widest sense) of the masses, especially those masses which are underprivileged, are delighted with the appearance of more and more articles in medical journals related to this subject. However, it pains me to see the Committee on International Child Health1 propose and recommend more studies in order to delineate the most effective elements of community comprehensive child care. It seems we keep doing studies and then either never apply what was found or recommend further study of the study.
