Understanding Maternal Health Status among the Urban Poor of the Scheduled Caste Community of West Bengal: A Sociological Study based on a Municipality under Kolkata Metropolitan Area
Abstract: The Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) is being implemented with the objective of reducing maternal and neonatal mortality by promoting institutional delivery among the poor pregnant women. The National Urban Health Mission (NUHM) as a sub-mission of an overarching National Health Mission (NHM). The present paper tries to assess the maternal health status among the reproductive mothers belonging to backward communities (viz. Scheduled Caste) and suffering from multiple socio-economic deprivations in slums of Kolkata Metropolitan area. Our findings suggest that more efforts are needed to ensure universal access to equitable and quality maternal healthcare services. Poor socio-cultural factors are associated with poor maternal health outcomes.
