Abstract

ABSTRACT The present study was conducted on 120 pregnant women attending the OPD of two government hospitals in Nainital with the objective to analyze the utilization of medical facilities by pregnant women. Questionnaire cum interview method was used for data collection. Results of the study showed that both government hospitals needed to be strengthened in terms of medical staff, infrastructure and equipments and techniques. It was observed that at GBPH there was only one doctor to take care of the women. The same hospital did not have adequate stock of medicines and lagged behind technologically. Results indicate towards a lower utilization of health care facilities such as 108 ambulance facility and aganwadi services among women respondents. Almost half the respondents were not aware of the benefits of Janani Suraksha Yojana. The study suggests need to increase awareness on reproductive health issues of women and popularization of government schemes.

前往北阿坎德邦奈尼塔尔区政府医院的孕妇利用保健设施的情况

摘要本研究对奈尼塔尔两家政府医院门诊部的120名孕妇进行了研究，目的是分析孕妇对医疗设施的利用情况。数据收集采用问卷调查与访谈相结合的方法。研究结果表明，两家政府医院都需要在医务人员、基础设施、设备和技术方面加强。据观察，在GBPH，只有一名医生来照顾这些妇女。同一家医院的药品库存不足，技术落后。结果表明，女性受访者对108救护车和阿干瓦迪服务等医疗保健设施的利用率较低。几乎一半的受访者没有意识到Janani Suraksha Yojana的好处。该研究表明，需要提高对妇女生殖健康问题的认识，并普及政府计划。
