The purpose of this study was to find out how decisions were made at the family level in order to seek treatment for family members, especially mothers during childbirth. The population in this study were community members who resided in Ngada, Southwest Sumba, North Central Timor and East Flores- Indonesia. The sample size was determined using a purposive technique, where each district was determined by two locations based on the distance factor (the farthest area and the nearest area) from the capital city of the district. Data were collected using in-depth interview techniques and Focused Group Discussions (FGD) to explore family-level decision-making processes regarding the use of health facilities. The results of this study indicate that decisions at the family level to use health facilities in areas far from the city center tend to still adhere to local traditions and local culture; and it should be based on relatives' advice; while the people who live close to the city center, the decision to use health facilities is generally in the hands of the mother and husband
