Abstract

The average percentage of MCH facilities in rural (67.34%) is lesser than average percentage of MCH services in urban (76.12%). There is highly significant difference in average percentage (%) use of MCH services in rural and urban areas. Thus it can be inferred that the MCH services used in urban area is more than that of rural area. There is highly significant association of selected demographic variables i.e. occupation of the mother, educational status and service provided. Association with other variables were not found such as age of the mother, type of the family, religion and monthly income of the family of the mothers.

Keywords: MCH services; Utilization; Comparative; Assess; Mothers; Rural and urban.
