Opis

This book demonstrates the utilization of maternal and child health care services is inadequate in India, as clearly depicted by the major maternal and child health care indicators (antenatal, delivery, and Immunization care services).For the antenatal care and delivery care the situation is worst in the rural areas, where more than 70 percent of the population resides. This study shows that the important factors influencing the use of maternal and child health services in India are demographic and socio-cultural in nature. The demographic and socio-cultural factors identified in this study include womens age at child birth, womens education, mass-media exposure, womens autonomy, womens work status, visited by health providers, place of residence, parity, social group, religion, region etc. Such findings can therefore be used as the basis for a number of policy recommendations.
