Analysis of the Implementation of the Policy of the Minister of Health Regulation Number 15 of 2013 Concerning Provision of Lactation Room Facilities and Childcare Centers at the Government Office of Maros Regency

The problem of breastfeeding is one of the health issues in the world. Low consumption of breast milk for babies, one of the causes is environmental factors that are not yet conducive in supporting mothers to be able to provide exclusive breastfeeding while working in office and the incessant promotion of formula milk. However, it is different in Maros Regency which prohibits the promotion of formula milk in health service units. Maros Regency has a strong commitment to make the district child- friendly. This is proved by the existence of lactation rooms, polyclinics, and childcare centers equipped with children's play areas provided for services users. The services are intended for employees who have toddlers so that they can breastfeed their children and to keep close to their children so that they can carry out their duties properly as public workers without sacrificing domestic duties (housewives). The existence of these facilities is considered to be very effective and efficient and its benefits are greatly perceived not only for users but also have an impact on improving performance. This program of the Maros Regency Government is very much in accordance with the Policy of the Minister of Health Regulation Number 15 of 2013 concerning Provision of Lactation Room Facilities.
