Research Summary

ABSTRACT

The study aimed to assess from the clients' as well as providers' perspectives, the quality of family welfare services

provided by rural health facilities in terms of access and availability of services, information provided to clients,

contraceptive choice, interpersonal relations, technical competence, follow-up and continuity of care. The study was

carried out in Vidisha district of Madhya Pradesh focusing on the three service delivery points of the rural health care

system - the Primary Health Centre (PHC), sub-centres and outreach extension activities of health workers - auxiliary

nurse midwives (ANM) and male health workers. Two PHCs were selected on the basis of availability of essential

staff in position. From each PHC, three sub-centres (excluding the sub-centre attached to the PHC) were selected for

in-depth case study. Seven laparoscopic sterilisation camps (one each at the PHC and sub-centre and five in the

outreach areas) were observed. Various qualitative methods like observation, informal interview, exit interview of

clients and focus group discussion with clients, community members and health providers were used for data

collection. The study was conducted in 1994-95, before the Target Free Approach and the Reproductive and Child

Health Programme were launched. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 3046-06)
