Medicalnews – Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) di Indonesia masih tinggi. Data terbaru menunjukkan 189 kematian per 100 ribu kelahiran. Pemerintah menargetkan penurunan hingga 77 per 100 ribu kelahiran pada 2029. Namun, jarak antara kondisi saat ini dan target masih cukup besar.
Selain itu, kanker serviks juga menjadi ancaman besar bagi perempuan. Setiap tahun, lebih dari 36 ribu kasus baru terdiagnosis. Dari jumlah tersebut, lebih dari 21 ribu perempuan meninggal dunia. Artinya, satu perempuan meninggal setiap 25 menit akibat penyakit ini.

Keterlambatan Rujukan Jadi Faktor Utama
Ketua Umum Pengurus Pusat POGI, Budi Wiweko, menyampaikan fakta penting terkait kematian ibu. Ia menjelaskan bahwa sekitar 80 persen kasus terjadi di fasilitas kesehatan.
Selain itu, mayoritas kematian terjadi dalam 24 jam setelah persalinan. Kondisi ini menunjukkan adanya masalah serius dalam sistem rujukan. Ia menilai banyak pasien datang dalam kondisi terlambat.
Oleh karena itu, tenaga medis sulit memberikan penanganan optimal. Akibatnya, risiko komplikasi meningkat dan berujung pada kematian.
Fasilitas Kesehatan Belum Optimal
Masalah tidak hanya terjadi pada pasien. Sistem layanan kesehatan juga masih menghadapi banyak tantangan. Beberapa fasilitas belum memiliki kesiapan penuh untuk menangani kondisi darurat.
Selain itu, koordinasi antar fasilitas kesehatan belum berjalan maksimal. Akibatnya, proses rujukan sering memakan waktu lebih lama.
Padahal, penanganan cepat sangat penting, terutama dalam kondisi kritis pasca persalinan. Setiap menit memiliki peran besar dalam menyelamatkan nyawa ibu.
Kanker Serviks Perlu Deteksi Dini
Di sisi lain, kanker serviks sebenarnya dapat dicegah. Deteksi dini menjadi langkah penting untuk menekan angka kematian. Namun, masih banyak perempuan yang belum melakukan pemeriksaan rutin.
Selain itu, kesadaran masyarakat tentang kesehatan reproduksi masih rendah. Banyak perempuan datang ke fasilitas kesehatan saat kondisi sudah parah.
Padahal, pemeriksaan seperti pap smear dapat membantu menemukan penyakit sejak awal. Dengan begitu, peluang kesembuhan menjadi lebih tinggi.
Edukasi dan Akses Layanan Harus Ditingkatkan
Pemerintah dan tenaga kesehatan perlu meningkatkan edukasi kepada masyarakat. Informasi tentang kehamilan sehat dan deteksi kanker harus mudah diakses.
Selain itu, akses layanan kesehatan juga perlu diperluas. Terutama di daerah terpencil yang masih sulit mendapatkan fasilitas memadai.
Di sisi lain, sistem rujukan harus diperbaiki secara menyeluruh. Koordinasi antar fasilitas harus lebih cepat dan efisien.
Dengan langkah tersebut, angka kematian ibu dapat ditekan. Selain itu, kasus kanker serviks juga dapat dideteksi lebih awal.
Upaya Bersama Jadi Kunci
Semua pihak memiliki peran penting dalam mengatasi masalah ini. Pemerintah, tenaga medis, dan masyarakat harus bekerja sama.
Selain itu, perempuan juga perlu lebih peduli terhadap kesehatan diri. Pemeriksaan rutin dapat menyelamatkan nyawa.
Jika semua pihak bergerak bersama, target penurunan AKI bukan hal mustahil. Indonesia dapat menciptakan sistem kesehatan yang lebih aman bagi perempuan.

Star has been seeking a financial lifeline in recent months, after
revealing its cash reserves sank to just $79 million at the end
of 2024. The latest Chinese offer could involve CTF and FEC taking over almost $740 million in debt
from Star and paying hundreds of millions
to complete the Brisbane casino development.
Embattled casino operator Star Entertainment confirmed its partners in the Queen’s Wharf facility —
Chow Tai Fook Enterprises (CTF) and Far East Consortium (FEC) — have offered to buy out
its share. State governments say they won’t bail the company out
but will try to ensure workers don’t lose
their jobs. The company, which employs more than 9,000 people and runs
casinos in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast, is quickly running out of cash and
will struggle to make it to the end of February according to financial analysts.
Analysts have noted that the cash burn has been as much as $100 million over three
months.
“We have been flexible, diligent, and measured in making an offer that adds wage growth for team members whilst absolutely stretching the financials of the business,” they said.
The group has been on the brink of collapse for months but staved off administrators by offloading its 50 per cent
stake in a new Brisbane precinct and a $250 million short-term bridging loan. Bally’s has offered a $250
million funding plan that would give it a 50.1 per cent stake
in Star, and has said it is open to a larger tie-up.
It said it has “continued to work diligently with Slater Brothers Capital … but has not received a binding debt commitment letter”.
Under the deal, in return for Star Entertainment’s 50 per cent stake in the Queen’s Wharf precinct, it will acquire the Hong Kong parties’ two-thirds
stake in the Gold Coast project. Embattled casino group Star Entertainment will stay alive, for now, after securing a $53 million lifeline in return for selling off
its 50 per cent stake in its new Brisbane casino.
Ominously, it also warned it received advice on “safe harbour provisions”, which are legal protections for directors in the event of any insolvent trading claims.
Despite this, the consortium received its
new casino licence for the Queens Wharf development.
The following year, regulators ruled that the
company was unsuitable to operate its casinos in Sydney and Queensland, placing them under government supervision. However, Star’s board had carefully reviewed all proposals, with external advice,
and determined that none offered sufficient value.

This is an important employer in Sydney as well and if I
was the NSW government I’d want to keep those people in jobs,” Miles said. The staged opening of the 12-hectare project began with much fanfare just days ago on 29 August, employing 3,000 people with 1,400 new jobs. Star said on Friday that the unnamed financier of its long-term financing proposal is expected to complete due diligence as early as March 18 while the two parties work towards a concrete offer. Star received a $35 million cash payment on Friday after agreeing to sell its 50 per cent stake in Brisbane’s Queen’s Wharf casino to its partners, Hong Kong-based Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, which will now take full ownership of the venue and business. “Since the recent general meeting, the
parties continued to negotiate to finalise the long form documents, but as of this morning,
have not reached an agreement on the outstanding commercial issues,” said Star in a statement to the ASX.
The revised timeline was announced in an ASX statement in December, informing shareholders that DBC had reached a settlement in the Supreme Court with Multiplex Constructions over cost blowouts and delays on the project. The project is being delivered by the Destination Brisbane Consortium (DBC) which Star holds a 50 per cent stake in, while Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises hold 25 per cent each. Meanwhile, The Star’s Queens Wharf project in Brisbane has been delayed for a fifth time, with the $3.6 billion precinct now expected to open in August. Queensland’s Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman announces the penalties two months after she found the gambling giant unsuitable to hold a casino licence in Queensland, following a major report. “We are on a journey to restore our suitability and our remediation plan will
track and hold us accountable to the multi-year program we are committed to delivering,” a spokesperson said. “There are serious
questions to be answered about Labor’s decisions to allow Star to continue holding a casino licence in Queensland,” he said.
Star Entertainment will sell its stake in the new Queen’s Wharf casino and entertainment complex in Brisbane, a deal that will give the company enough cash to stave off collapse for several months. The kitchen is the size of half a football field and is expected to dish up 140,000 meals a year. Chow Tai Fook also used secretive tax haven companies to stay in business in a Vietnam casino venture with a company founded by an alleged organised crime figure even after his arrest on money laundering and criminal association charges last year. Star had improved its harm minimisation strategies, including new gambling time limits, and its as-yet unreleased remediation plan had been approved by the Queensland government. Yet the audit made clear the situation had worsened – with more people at risk, and an industry not being held to account – in the years since the QUT study was delivered to government. After the Queensland Audit Office this month slammed the government’s efforts to protect people from gambling-related harm, the responsible department vowed to implement its recommendations and seek more funding in the budget.

He said no one told him of these organised crime associations or the Cheng companies’ use of tax havens. When Stanley Ho was banned from the NSW casino industry in 2014 for his organised crime associations, the Cheng family had corporate and board interests in three of his blacklisted companies. Decades before the Palaszczuk government approved Chow Tai Fook’s stake in Queen’s Wharf, Cheng family companies had failed to demonstrate they were fit to operate in Australia’s casino industry. Star took months to cut ties with Suncity, but its casino partner Chow Tai Fook never did.
Star shares dropped 16.3 per cent to a record low of 9.2¢ after the company confirmed on Friday that the deadline to renegotiate the sale of its 50 per cent stake in Queen’s Wharf to Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and Far East Consortium had passed with no progress from the parties. “The whole
commercial model for casinos is dependent
on people who are addicted.” This follows the review, which found Star had encouraged people excluded from NSW and Victorian casinos to gamble in Queensland. Casino operators will be required to identify and exclude people who have been banned from interstate casinos.
