The concept of a "prepared village" involves establishing a system within a village responsible for maintaining public health, guided and interacting with one midwife and two village cadres.
Prepared villages emerged as a government response to persistent health problems in Indonesia, such as high maternal and infant mortality rates, tuberculosis, diarrhea, dengue fever, and others.
A village is declared a prepared village if it meets several criteria, including having one resident midwife, at least two village cadres, and at least one village health post building and medical equipment.
