Bandar Lampung emerged as one of the areas with the fourth highest MMR, recording 15 cases (8.02%). This study aims to identify determinants of childbirth complications among mothers in Bandar Lampung in 2024. This type of research is analytical-descriptive, with random sampling, so that samples are obtained from 432 post-natal mothers. This research method uses interviews and observations of post-natal mothers analyzed through a quantitative cross-sectional approach with a random sampling of 432 participants.
