Strategic solutions<\/strong><\/h5>\n\nPersistent gender inequality and discrimination within healthcare systems continue to obstruct the delivery of quality maternal care. Prof. Yunitasari stressed the importance of women\u2019s empowerment. \u201cStrengthening women\u2019s access to education, healthcare, and reproductive rights is a fundamental step toward lowering maternal mortality. Just as crucial is cultivating a healthcare workforce that is aware of and sensitive to gender issues, ensuring they can serve as catalysts for change,\u201d she asserted.<\/p>\n\n
Prof. Yunitasari concluded by emphasizing the need for a multi-stakeholder approach grounded in gender equality principles to address maternal mortality. She argued that gender equality is not just a women\u2019s issue but a collective responsibility. \u201cReducing maternal mortality goes beyond medical intervention\u2014it\u2019s about advancing social justice and gender equity. When women have equal access, control, participation, and support in reproductive health services, we can achieve significant reductions in maternal deaths,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n
