Key finding-Why women choose home over Institutions for the delivery. • lack of confidence in health institutions. • Lack of sensitivity of the institutions, anger expressed towards the antipathy of the system. • Actual cost is more, costly medicine at emergency difficulty in accessing JSY incentives. • No cure is available for obstetric emergency. • Difficulty in accessing JSY money. • Women do not decided the place of delivery.
Findings why women choose to deliver at facility • Women from nuclear and migrant families. • Women who go far sex selective deliveries-precious male child to be delivered. • Women who had adverse experiences from TBA and ANM of delivering at home. • Women get motivated by ANM.
Findingsperception of the health functionaries • Administration could not decide between ASHA and AWW. • Doctors have limited knowledge of the JSY and its components. • They agreed that health facilities lack emergency obstetric care services. • Communication gap between beneficiaries and services providers. • Services providers were also of the view that the process of getting incentives is cumbersome • Most of the doctors have admitted that there knowledge of the JSY is limited to monitory benefits.. • They agreed that health facilities lack emergency obstetric care services. • Communication gap between beneficiaries and services providers. • Services providers were also of the view that the process of getting incentives is cumbersome
Recommendations. • Appoint ASHA to bridge the communication gap between beneficiaries and health facilities. • Provide good quality obstetric care to build confidence among communities to use them for the maternal emergencies. • If administration failed to post specialist in the FRU, Promote Public Private Partnership by accrediting doctors/ clinic/ nursing home to provide emergency obstetric care. . • Provisions for regular and good quality capacity building program for AWW and ANM to make the system sensitive to women maternal needs. • Appoint more women doctors particularly gynecologist in the government health system to motivate women for institutional deliveries.
Limitations of the study. • The scope of the finding of this study is limited to the concentration of particular cast (SC/St) in the study areas.
Conclusion • The JSY scheme has the potential to increase the proportion of institutional deliveries. • In order to increase the effectiveness of the JSY cash incentive, we need to build the confidence of women in institutional deliveries by improving health infrastructure and quality of care.
