Abstract

Mawar Iteng program is a health program to mother and infant in Pemalang Regency. This program is acronym of Mak’e waras bayine kentheng, meaning mother is healthy during giving birth and her infant is also safe. This program is intended to reduce Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). This successful program should be supported by adequate health logistic providing. This research focused on studying health logistic supply, viewed from the presence of supporting facilities and its distribution. This research employed descriptive qualitative method. Techniques of collecting data used were structured interview, non-participatory observation, and document analysis. Interactive analysis model was used as technique of analyzing data, while data validation was carried out using method triangulation. The result of research showed that this program has not provided health logistic optimally yet. It could be seen from the inadequate availability of ambulance. This condition should get much attention from the government, recalling that the location of main Puskesmas is far from the subsidiary Puskesmas or other medical centers. Ideally, the reinforcement of health logistic is required, particularly in providing an adequate mobile public health center (Puskesmas Keliling).
