The right to life, which is determined by the quality of health, is often neglected by the state, or it is an old practice done by people from one generation to the next. For example, the maternal mortality rate in Indonesia still tends to be high, the Indonesian Ministry of Health records 183 cases per 100.000 births in 2022. Meanwhile, in East Nusa Tenggara in June 2022, recorded 63 cases of maternal death. The global world continues to fight the problem by 2030, the maternal mortality rate is pushed down and must be below 70 cases per 100.000 life births.

In Sumba, the neglect of health services and the neglect of people related to health responsibilities due to a low understanding of health dan it is rarely considered a crucial issue. Moreover, various cultural practices bring affects women's quality of life and lack of health knowledge, so many women prefer to ignore their health. From the problem background, it is important for village women, especially in East Sumba Regency, as the outermost, remote, and underdeveloped area, to get an understanding of routine health checks to fulfill their health rights.

The awareness of health rights was also instilled in the women's group of the tied weaving community in Tanatuku village, Nggaha Ori Angu. The Multiplication of Stube HEMAT in Sumba in collaboration with nurses and village cadres examined the health of the members of the weaving group in Tanatuku against endemic malaria (10/02/2023). A health cadre, Kalita Mboru, accompanied by nurse Jeni, conveyed the importance of regular health checks such as a malaria test. The participants were taught about healthy lifestyles, such as sleeping using mosquito nets to avoid being bitten by Malaria mosquitoes which carry parasites or bacteria that will infect red blood cells. In addition to mosquito bites, malaria can be transmitted to humans through blood transfusions, the use of needles, and the infected fetus by the mother.

From the explanation, then, they carried out a blood sample test. The participants listed their names one by one and waited for their turn to check. However, some participants were reluctant to do a blood test because they were afraid of needles. Asri Kaita Endi said in Sumbanese language, "Aiiii nyungga ndi'a angu, ku mangadat pakadjuku, ndaku torung a,", which meant "I don't dare to do a blood test because I'm afraid." After being given an understanding, finally all participants took a blood test.

The ongoing discussions was around health condition experienced by most women, both in family and surroundings. The most common health problem found is chronic gastritis, but it is still considered a common disease, followed by malaria, and the negligence of pregnant women to maintain self-sufficiency during pregnancy.

In maintaining health, it needs to emphasize that every woman must consider her health and safety as the most important thing in all matters, consuming a healthy diet, doing physical exercise, having vitamins and supplements, and checking her health regularly. Healthy women will give birth to a healthy and strong generation. ***
