Indonesia ranked the fourth as the most populous country in the world after China, USA and India. Population Census in 2010 recorded, Indonesia has the fastest growth in the region with 250 millions of people and projected to continue increasing in the future due to the high fertility rate. As a developing nation, Indonesia is not only burdened by the huge number of population but also the low quality of human capitals. This study aims to describe the characterstics of family planning beneficiaries who select tubal ligation or tubectomy as contraceptive methods. It was a retrospective descriptive analytic study involving 33 family planning beneficiaries in Muhammadiyah Islamic Hospital in Yogyakarta who select tubectomy as contraceptive methods. Sample was driven as the total population. Most (61%) of tubectomy acceptors were women at the mid childbearing age (>35), having high parity, attained higher level of education and employed. The higher the economic status of the household, the higher the likelihood of the women to adopt one of the contraceptive methods including tubectomy. Considering the high cost of tubectomy, it is necessary for the government to reevaluate the cost of service in order to increase the tubectomy prevalence rate.
