Child and Maternal Mortality
in Islamic Countries
95
mothers: 53% among children of women with no education versus 71% among children with
mothers having higher level of education, and 57% among the poorest children versus 70%
among richest children. The risk of ARI was slightly higher among the poorest children (6%
versus 3% among the children in highest wealth quintile), but the treatment seeking was similar
across all the wealth quintile groups (90% or higher).
3.2.3. Results from key informants interviews
In Indonesia, we successfully interviewed eight key informants from the Ministry of Health,
UN/WHO, World Bank/USAID/Development Agency, International NGOs, etc. Six participants
(75%) have been in their position for 10 years or more.
Perceived functionality of the WHO building blocks in the country
In Indonesia, most key informants considered service delivery (mean score of 3.0), workforce
(2.8), financing (3.0) and leadership/governance (3.0) are functioning fairly well (Figure 3.39).
The health information systems (3.4) are functioning the least and access to essential drugs (2.4)
situation is reasonably well.

(1= Best functioning; 2= Better functioning; 3= functioning well; 4= Somewhat functioning; 5=
worst / not functioning)
Below are some related quotes from the participants: "Health information systems is a challenge
because we can't have real-time data use by decentralized government: example: contraception-
here at the central level they can't monitor the stocks at the service delivery point".
