Perang Kemerdekaan Indonesia (1945–1949) umumnya didominasi oleh narasi pertempuran militer dan diplomasi politik, sementara ketahanan sektor kesehatan masyarakat di garis belakang sering terabaikan. Di tengah darurat perang dan blokade ekonomi, layanan kesehatan ibu dan anak menghadapi ancaman kelumpuhan, padahal sektor ini merupakan pilar esensial kelangsungan regenerasi bangsa. Penelitian ini bertujuan merekonstruksi dinamika pelayanan kesehatan ibu dan anak kurun 1945–1949 serta menganalisis kontribusi strategis bidan melalui kacamata pertahanan nirmiliter. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian sejarah (historical research method) berbasis pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif melalui tahapan heuristik, kritik sumber, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil rekonstruksi historis menunjukkan bahwa di tengah kelangkaan tenaga dan fasilitas medis, bidan mempertahankan kelangsungan persalinan serta mengemban peran ganda dalam unit pertolongan darurat berkolaborasi dengan Palang Merah Indonesia dan Djawatan Kesehatan Tentara. Secara analitis, ketahanan ini mencerminkan kapasitas adaptif sistem kesehatan dalam menjaga fungsi esensial masyarakat di tengah konflik. Kesimpulan kajian ini menegaskan secara konseptual bahwa keberlangsungan pelayanan kebidanan pada masa perang merupakan wujud nyata pertahanan nirmiliter yang memelihara ketahanan demografis dan menyelamatkan generasi penerus bangsa.
