Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing a sustainable midwifery management program in improving maternal and infant health within the community. Methods: This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental study design. The study sample consisted of 100 pregnant women divided into two groups: the intervention group, which received a sustainable midwifery management program, and the control group, which received standard midwifery services. Results: Univariate analysis results showed an increase in maternal health knowledge from 60% to 85% in the intervention group. Bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between program implementation and improved maternal and infant health (p < 0.05). Discussion: The sustainable midwifery management program effectively increased the knowledge and health practices of pregnant women, contributing to reduced pregnancy complications and improved infant health.Conclusion: Implementing a sustainable midwifery management program can be an effective solution to improve maternal and infant health in the community.
