<p>Mother and child health as a key indicator of community welfare is measured by the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). But why have efforts to reduce MMR and IMR not yet reached the target? This research answers this question by using an approach of cultural values in mother and child health. The focus of this research is on the human life cycle starting from marriage, pregnancy, birth and death in Situbondo Regency, East Java and Ngada Regency, NTT. Research has found four cultural elements that predominantly influence health beliefs, family and community decisions in dealing with maternal and infant health problems. These cultural elements are the religious system, the kinship system, the knowledge system and the livelihood system. These four systems can increase or decrease the risk of maternal and infant mortality. The government must consider the cultural values of the community in making health policies. First, strengthen factors that reduce the risk of maternal and child mortality. Second, reduce the factors that increase the risk of maternal and child mortality.</p>

THROUGH the sampling procedure developed by the National Office of Vital Statistics, preliminary estimates were made early in 1954 of the most important statistical indices for 1953. These estimates have been shown to be quite accurate and when the final actual figures are available there is only slight variation. Presented below are the graphs and figures illustrating the data for 1953 and 1952 on Birth Rate, Marriage License Rate, Death Rate, and Infant Mortality Rate, as shown in Monthly Vital Statistics Report, Volume 2, No. 12, Feb. 17, 1954. Little change is to be seen between the two years, although it is gratifying to note continuation, even though slight, of the decline in Infant Mortality Rate. Births continue at a supnisingly high level with the rate showing no signs of the long predicted fall. The figure of over 3.9 million births refers to registered births and is the highest ever recorded. Furthermore, if we take into account those which occurred but for which birth certificates were not filed, the total number of births in the U.S.A. in 1953 probably exceeded 3,970,000. [SEE GRAPH 1 IN SOURCE PDF.] Marriages also continued at a high rate, but in the last two months of the year there was a suggestion of a slight turndown, with the December 1953 rate being 7.5% under the December 1952 rate. Reports in 1954 will determine whether this trend remains in evidence. Seasonal variations, both in marriages and births, show the same pattern as in previous years. While the total Death Rate shows no change, this is due to a rather sharp increase in the first two months of the year with 1953 showing better rates than 1952 for most of the year.

One of the most important tasks that healthcare providers face is to reduce infant mortality. The purpose of our study was to assess the effects of routing of pregnant women with preterm birth on the infant mortality rate. Materials and methods: оperating data of the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), operational notifications about death of young children under the age of 1, monthly reports of obstetric hospitals subordinate to Moscow Healthcare Department, annual reports of hospital departments providing neonatal care in medical organizations of Moscow Healthcare Department, and statistical data analysis. Results and discussion. The infant mortality rate in Moscow has been declining in recent decades and has been less than 6‰ annually since 2016. The share of newborns with extremely low birth weight is insignificant in overall rate. At the same time, extremely low birth weight is one of the main causes of infant mortality. As this category of newborns requires specific care, it is better to deliver such babies in perinatal centers that provide high quality medical care. Within 5 years, the share of children with ELBW born in perinatal centers and specialized obstetric hospitals has almost doubled. At the same time, there is an increase in the survival rate of children with extremely low birth weight by the age of one year in obstetric hospitals. Conclusion. Well-planned routing of patient within the large system of obstetric hospitals in Moscow could reduce death rate, increase the survival rate of children with extremely low birth weight and contribute to reducing infant mortality in the region.

Background: Infant mortality rate (IMR) is a sensitive indicator for monitoring child health and survival. Punjab state in North India is performing better than most of the other states in various health indicators. Punjab’s IMR has shown a rapid decline from 38/1000 live births in 2008 (Sample registration system (SRS) 2008) to 24/1000 live births in 2014 (SRS 2014). This study was planned to assess which of the maternal and child health services is associated with rapid decline in infant mortality rate. Methods: Association between various components of prenatal care, intranatal care and postnatal care, and child healthcare and socio demographic variables (taken from secondary data of District Level Household Surveys) and Infant Mortality Rate (taken from SRS) of Punjab was studied. Spearman correlation coefficient was calculated to measure the association between the variables. Results: Total fertility rate (TFR), women who had institutional deliveries, safe deliveries and mean children ever born are statistically significantly associated with decline in infant mortality rate. Conclusions: In Punjab, maternal and child health indicators are directly or indirectly associated with decline in infant mortality rate. Findings of the study demonstrate that the recent rapid decline in IMR of Punjab is strongly associated with increase in institutional deliveries and decline in TFR and the mean number of children ever born.

Health is one of the essential needs for human beings, and even became a major issue that indicates achievement of a country or a region. Health can also be viewed from the condition of the infants, which can be measure from Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). This indicator shows a high rate especially because of low birthweight. The cases of low birthweight is one of the highest case that occurred in developing countries, including Indonesia. Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT) province in Indonesia, is one of the most common places where this case is most likely to happened. The percentage of the low birthweight case is higher than the average case in Indonesia. Therefore, this research paper aim to investigate variables which are responsible for causing low birthweight case in such a high number in NTT on 2017. The method used for analysis is logistic regression. The result indicate that mother’s education level is significantly affecting low birthweight cases in NTT.

The Blackfan Memorial Lecture by Dr. Cicely Williams1 was read with keen interest and agreement. Pediatrics should be commended for its publication. I trust that the increased rumbling that one hears, reads about and senses in maternal and child health care in our country will gather momentum and volume until we actually do implement the programs that will reduce infant mortality and morbidity and improve maternal care so that infants will be born into a society with far fewer deficiencies, deprivation and dependence.
