Abstract

Equitable distribution of health services between areas is still a problem in various countries. Even in developed countries. This condition also applies to the utilization of healthcare facilities for childbirth. To analyze the urban-rural disparities of facilities-based childbirth in Indonesia. The analysis in this study uses raw data from the 2017 IDHS. With stratification and multistage random sampling, 17,769 women aged 15–49 years with live births in the last 5 years were sampled. Data were analyzed using a Binary Logistic Regression test. Women in urban areas were probably 2.417 times more utilizing healthcare facilities for delivery than those in rural areas. Women with tertiary education were likely to be 1.709 times more utilizing healthcare facilities for delivery than those who don’t. Richest women were probably 6.556 times more utilizing healthcare facilities for delivery than poorest women. Women who have health insurance maybe 1.437 times more utilizing healthcare for delivery than women who don’t have. Women who know about the danger signs of pregnancy are more than 1.514 times more likely to utilize healthcare for delivery than those who don’t know. Women who do ANC ≥ 4 times have the possibility of 1.729 times using healthcare facilities compared to those who do ANC less than 4. There were significant differences between women in urban and rural areas in utilizing healthcare facilities for delivery. Women who live in urban areas have a better chance to utilize healthcare facilities for delivery. The government needs to focus on women with low education and poor status. Interventions were needed by socializing the danger signs of pregnancy in rural areas. In addition, it was also necessary to expand the scope of membership of the National Health Insurance in rural areas.
