Background: Maternal and child health programs are one of the Ministry of Health's top priorities. Because of Indonesia's high maternal mortality rate (MMR), the government has made MMR reduction a priority program in health development. Many pregnant women have still not given birth in health facilities, and maternal and child mortality rates in NTT remain high. Over the past five years, Kupang Regency has been one of the top five contributors to maternal and child mortality in East Nusa Tenggara. Objective: To determine the effect of management functions on the minimum service standards for maternal and child health at the Kupang Regency health center. Methods and Design:This is a quantitative study that was conducted in the area of the Kupang Regency health office, with a total sample of 30, using a purposive sampling technique and analyzing the data using simple logistic regression and multiple logistic regression. Results: Bivariate analysis showed a relationship between POAC and minimum service standards for maternal and child health, namely Planning (p = 0.009; OR = 25), Organizing (p = 0.015; OR = 19), Actuating (p = 0.009; OR = 25), and Controlling (p = 0.013; OR = 14); and multivariate analysis revealed that the Planning and Actuating variables had an effect simultaneously (p = 0.047; OR = 11).
