LITERATURE REVIEW

A study by Abusaleh Shariff and Geeta Singh in Determinants of Maternal Health Care Utilisation in India: Evidence from a Recent Household Survey discusses the issues associated with the demand and supply of maternal health care services. They examined the relative importance of demographic and economic factors in determining the utilisation rates of maternal care services. According to them, the supply side dimension such as the imminent expansion of local health care facilities deserves the urgent attention of the policy makers. Policy efforts should be made to improve education, spread health care information through the media and provide a better local network of health workers2.
