ANC (Antenatal Care) is an activity to detect abnormalities as well as regularly check the condition of the mother and fetus during pregnancy. Anc should be performed at least four times during pregnancy. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted maternal and child health services (MCH), reducing visits to K1 and K4 health facilities. The Research with the qualitative research design was carried out from January to March 2022 in each of the seven sub-districts in Manggarai Regency, Public Health Centre in Langke Lembong district, Ruteng, Lelak, and Satar Mese. The results showed that the availability of health workers was sufficient where there were midwives responsible for the implementation of antenatal care, and the provision of personal protective equipment was sufficient. Midwives facilitated appointments via WhatsApp and home visits. Pregnant women were advised to read books for the prevention of Emergencies. The implementation of maternity care during the Covid pandemic did not differ significantly from the services provided in the prepandemic period. It only differed in the method of the services provided. While still complying with health protocols, it is expected to increase the number of supporting facilities and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to support the smooth implementation of ANC services.
Maternal and child health problems have been considered to be national problems in Indonesia. They become top priority issues to be solved because they greatly determine the quality of future generations. Midwives have an important role in overcoming health problems of mothers and children. The duties and responsibilities of a midwife in providing midwifery services in the community are highly dependent on work productivity. Midwifery work productivity is seen from midwifery care in terms of quantity aspects, quality aspects and timeliness. This study aims to analyze the work productivity of midwives in community midwifery services during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The type of research used is an analytical survey research using the crosssectional method. The research sample was 182 people. The results showed that most of the work productivity of midwives in community midwifery services during the Covid-19 pandemic was in the good category (95.6%), fair work productivity (3.3%) and poor work productivity (1.1%). The productivity of midwives is carried out by increasing the aspects of knowledge and skills (technical skills). In order to increase the work productivity of midwives, it is necessary to carry out supportive supervision by subdistrict or district supervisors.
