The result showed that 20,449 children were born in the last 5 years period prior the survey, and 8,084 children were born to mothers with more than 3 times antenatal care, but 71 percent of their deliveries were born to mothers with more than 3 times antenatal care, and were assisted by TBA. Traditional birth attendant still played an important role to assist deliveries, in Java-Bali region 79 percent and in outer Java-Bali 59 percent of deliveries were assisted by TBA. Deliveries in the rural areas (77 percent) are more likely to be assisted by TBA than in urban areas (51 percent).
