Bidans are an essential part of the healthcare system in Indonesia. They play a crucial role in providing maternal and child health services, as well as family planning and other reproductive health services. Despite their important role, bidans often face challenges in terms of recognition and regulation.
It is important to include bidans in the formation of regulations that govern their practice. This is because bidans have a unique perspective and expertise that can help shape policies that are more relevant and effective in improving maternal and child health outcomes in Indonesia.
By involving bidans in the regulatory process, policymakers can ensure that regulations are practical, feasible, and responsive to the needs of both bidans and the communities they serve. Bidans can provide valuable insights into the challenges they face in their daily practice, as well as suggestions for how regulations can be improved to better support their work.
Furthermore, involving bidans in the regulatory process can help enhance their professional status and recognition. By giving bidans a seat at the table in discussions about regulations, policymakers can show that they value and respect the important work that bidans do.
In conclusion, bidans play a vital role in the healthcare system in Indonesia and should be actively involved in the formation of regulations that govern their practice. By including bidans in the regulatory process, policymakers can ensure that regulations are more effective, relevant, and supportive of bidans’ work in improving maternal and child health outcomes in Indonesia.
