| Abstrak/Abstract |
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the implementation of family planning
program policy in Malinau. Methods: A case study was conducted through
in-depth interviews with 18 participants. Results: The policy of the
government in Malinau is ‘four children are better’. Differences in
perceptions between stakeholders, providers and users about family
planning affecting social, economic, cultural, beliefs have an impact on
contraceptive use in Malinau. The use of contraception is not prohibited for
people with medical indications for using contraception, but peo ple should
access the contraception independently in the private sector. Conclusion:
The policy of the Ma linau government to stop the supply of contraceptives to
government health facilities since 2012 is an effort by local governments to
increase the number of inland and border populations. The unavailability of
con traceptives in government health facilities and the limitations of family
planning information, communica tion and education lead to differences in
perceptions between stakeholders, service providers and users. Therefore,
the researcher recommends that the relevant regional apparatus unit does
advocacy to legislative and executive boards in Malinau. The local
government shall ensure the availability and quality of family planning
services for the community on the basis of reproductive health rights. |
