Abstract

Background: Health services in Indonesia are still uneven, especially midwifery practice services on maternal and child health. The improvement of basic health services is still seen to be slow and varies greatly from one region to another so that it has an impact on the quality of health services. To bridge the gap in the quality of midwifery services, adequate and up-to-date information/data is needed, which is needed as the basis for formulating programs and planning for health development in urban and rural areas, especially remote areas.

Aim: This study aims to identify and identify gaps in the quality of health services in remote and urban areas. The methodology used in this study is a literature review study aimed at investigating gaps in midwifery practice. The databased used in the source search is Google Scholar. The search for articles was carried out by collecting themes about gaps in midwifery practice services in rural and urban areas.

Results: The health status of people in rural areas is generally worse than in urban areas. Differences in health infrastructure, shortages of necessary medical equipment, medicines and other supplies, time and economically expensive long distance travel to health facilities in villages, and emergency transportation, have led to gaps in midwifery practice in rural and urban areas. There are gaps in midwifery practice in rural and urban areas. This gap is caused by several factors. Differences in health infrastructure, shortages of necessar y medical equipment, medicines and other supplies, time and economically expensive long distance travel to health facilities in villages, and emergency transportation, have led to gaps in midwifery practice in rural and urban areas.

Conclusion: There are gaps in midwifery practice in rural and urban areas. This gap is caused by several factors. Differences in health infrastructure, shortages of necessary medical equipment, medicines and other supplies, time and economically expensive long distance travel to health facilities in villages, and emergency transportation.
