Although life expectancy has improved remarkably with wide
availability of curative medicines, health (besides education) is
still a highly neglected sector in the development process of
India. Particularly neglected area of health is the provision of
maternal and child health care services. The neglect covers the
areas of infrastructure and skills development and quality of care.
Consequently, levels of health care services utililization for
mothers and children are among the lowest even by the standards of
developing world, although there are vast amounts of regional
inequalities where some states are comparable with best performing
Asian nations and others with those of poorest performing nations
in Asia and Africa. Apart from such pronounced regional variation,
there is a great deal of inequalities by socio-economic status as
well; such inequalities also varied across the regions. With this
basic background this book aims at to highlight the regional and
socio-economic differences in the levels of maternal health care
services coverage in comparison to child health care services
(immunization) coverage in India.
