There were 21 casesof maternal mortality in 2005 and only four out of 34 CHCsachieved the target of maternal and child coverage. Theseshow that maternal and child health care performance is notoptimal; therefore, improvement should be made. One ofperformance measurements is balanced scorecard whichincludes four perspectives, namely finance, costumers’satisfaction, internal business, and learning and growth.Objective: To evaluate antenatal care performance betweenhigh coverage CHC and low coverage CHC using balancedscorecard approach in Bekasi District.Method: This was an observational study with cross sectionalstudy design.

Univariate analysis and bivariate analysis with chi-squaretest and stratification were used.Results: There was an association between providers’education/training and antenatal coverage (χ² = 10.015; p =0.002; PR = 4.026; CI 95% = 1.667-9.724), and patients’satisfaction (χ2 = 4.607; p = 0.032; PR = 2.516; CI 95% = 1.080-6.348), while standardized care was not related to antenatalcare coverage. Stratification analysis showed that antenatalcare coverage in Mekarmukti CHC was better than that inCibarusah CHC (χ2 = 5.662; p = 0.017; PR = 4.407; CI 95% =1.082-18.789), patients’ satisfaction in Mekarmukti CHC wasbetter than that in Cibarusah CHC (χ2 = 6.935; p = 0.008; PR =8; CI 95% = 1.256-84.624).
