Background: Irrespective of the tremendous efforts made by Government of India the utilization of MCH services continues to be very low among women belonging to lower socio economic status particularly among slum and migratory population. This significantly upsets country’s declining trend of maternal and infant mortality rate. Therefore a study was undertaken to assess the utilization of maternal and child health services among migratory/slum dwellers in a municipality area.Methods: A community based cross- sectional study was conducted for a period of one month among two hundred eligible women of the study population.Results: Study targeted 1200 households in 16 localities and we obtained information from 200 eligible mothers. Amongst them 74% availed antenatal services from government facilities and only 67% were registered in the first trimester. All mothers received antenatal services. Mother and child protection card was not received by 8.5% of women. 86.1% of them had institutional delivery. 13.9% of mothers delivered at home and 10% of the deliveries were unattended or assisted by friends and relatives. JSY benefits were not availed by 55% of the women.41.5% babies delivered had low birth weight. 14.7% of the children were either partially immunized or not immunized at all. Amongst women belonging to target couple 68% were not using any form of contraception.Conclusions: Utilization of Maternal and Child Health services among the migratory and slum dwellers living in the Municipality area is not satisfactory.

“…Comparable findings were seen in a study conducted by Neyaz et al (67.4%) and Budemelli et al (66%). 11,12 Around three fourth of the mothers possessed BPL card (77.4%) which is essential for availing different card linked services. Similar findings were seen in a study conducted by Pahwa (74%).…”

“…Neyaz A et al in their in slum areas of Aligarh reported that majority (89.4%) of women received two doses of TT injections during their recent pregnancy. 3 The main reasons for not attending any antenatal visit by women during last pregnancy were lack of knowledge about ANC services (31%) and lack of felt need (22.3%). Similarly, according to a study conducted by Bajpai RC.…”

“…In a study conducted by Neyaz A et al in slum areas of Aligarh, women's education, husband's education, birth order and socio-economic status of the family were found to be significantly associated (p <0.05) with antenatal care service utilization. 3 According to a study conducted by Sharma V et al in urban slum and rural areas of Lucknow, highly statistically significant association was found between utilization of antenatal care (ANC) services by women and their age, parity and socio-economic status (p<0.001).…”

“…2 Antenatal care is an important determinant of high maternal mortality rate and one of the basic components of maternal care on which the life of mothers and babies depend. 3 The primary aim of antenatal care is to achieve, at the end of pregnancy, a healthy mother and a healthy baby. 1 Ideally, antenatal care should monitor a pregnancy for signs of complications, detect and treat pre-existing and concurrent problems of pregnancy, and provide advice and counselling on preventive care, delivery care, postnatal care, and related issues.…”

Background: Rapid urbanization in India is fuelling a growth in urban poverty, particularly in the urban slums where the quality of life is extremely poor. There have been limited efforts to capture the health of population living in urban slums and most severely affected are the women of childbearing age and children. So the present study was carried out to assess the utilization pattern of antenatal care and to identify the factors affecting it in urban slums of Amritsar city.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 1600 houses selected randomly in four slum areas of Amritsar city in which 659 married women in the reproductive age group of 15-49 years who had at least 1 child and had delivered the last child in the last 3 years were found. Total 659 women were interviewed using a pre-designed and pre-tested proforma.Results: 58.4% of respondent women attended at least one antenatal visit during last pregnancy. Maximum (43.4%) attended 2 antenatal visits. Majority (64.4%) had their first antenatal visit in 2nd trimester. Majority (57.1%) consumed <100 IFA tablets. Majority (65.6%) were fully immunized with 2 doses/booster of TT. Lack of knowledge about ANC services was the reason given by most of the women (31.0%) for not attending any antenatal visit. The utilization of antenatal care (ANC) services by women was found to be significantly associated with their age, education, birth order, socio-economic status and husband’s education.Conclusions: The utilization of antenatal care services was found to be poor in the study population. Important barriers to service utilization were found to be lack of awareness and lack of felt need. This shows the need for intensive efforts to be made in slum areas to create awareness among women by Behaviour Change Communication (BCC) activities.

Objective: To determine the proportion of women having four or more antenatal care (ANC) visits and to assess associated factors (utilization of ANC services) in poor urban settlements in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand. Material and Methods: This was a community-based cross-sectional study. The study population included females who delivered during the last year residing in the target location. The data were collected through the house-to-house method in the four selected areas using a structured pre-tested expert-validated questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 23 using descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques. Results: There was a 59.66% prevalence of four or more antenatal visits (52.01%-66.97%). Only 26.44% of the participants confirmed their husbands' company during their antenatal visits. Socioeconomic status, type of family, mother's educational status, parity, husband's company during the visit, and mother's autonomy were significant factors (P<0.005) associated with the number of ANC visits. In logistic regression, after adjusting for other covariates, the autonomy of the participants and the husband's involvement during the visit were found to be significantly associated with four or more ANC visits. Conclusions: Approximately 60% of participants in poor urban settlements had four or more ANC visits. The findings of our study affirm the involvement of husbands in antenatal visits and women's autonomy as significant determinants of antenatal care utilization.
