In 2015, the maternal mortality rate decreased to 305.

Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR), also known as Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) in Indonesian, is a key indicator of health development. A lower MMR signifies better health development in a region. The national MMR in Indonesia has shown fluctuating trends.

Based on the Indonesian Basic Health Survey (SDKI), the maternal mortality rate in 1994 reached 390 per 100,000 live births and showed a declining trend, reaching 228 in 2007. However, in 2012, the MMR increased again to 359 per 100,000 live births. According to the 2015 Intercensal Survey (SUPAS), the MMR decreased to 305 per 100,000 live births, exceeding the target set in the 2015-2019 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RJPMN) of 306 per 100,000 live births.

Maternal mortality refers to deaths occurring during pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, or within two months after the end of pregnancy. The long-term target, by 2030, is to reduce the maternal mortality rate to less than 70 deaths per 100,000 live births.
