Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to find potential sources that affect maternal health care seeking behavior of women of urban areas in period around the birth of their children using data extracted from Bangladesh Urban Health Survey 2013. To examine the maternal health care seeking behavior among women,antenatal care, place of delivery and postnatal care are considered as dependent variables and several demographic and socio-economic factors are included as independent variable. The study reveals that the recent migrant women and slum dwellers have a tendency of being disadvantaged in context of maternal health care. There is still plenty of room to work on maternal health care among women in urban areas especially among recent migrants so that significant improvement can be initialized to achieve an equity in overall health care system in Bangladesh.

孟加拉国城市地区孕产妇求医行为:移民是否造成不平等?
本文的主要目的是利用从2013年孟加拉国城市健康调查中提取的数据,寻找影响城市地区妇女在子女出生前后寻求孕产妇保健行为的潜在来源。为了研究妇女寻求孕产妇保健的行为,产前护理、分娩地点和产后护理被视为因变量,一些人口和社会经济因素被视为自变量。研究表明,最近的移徙妇女和贫民窟居民在孕产妇保健方面有处于不利地位的趋势。在城市地区妇女,特别是新近移民妇女的孕产妇保健方面,仍有很大的工作空间,以便能够初步取得重大改善,以实现孟加拉国整体卫生保健系统的公平。达卡大学学报(自然科学版),67(2):131- 138,2019 (7)
