Description
The book examines the issues of maternal and child health in Nirpura village which had reported very high level of infant deaths during early 1990s. Access to care depends on the availability of health setrvices on one hand and propensity to access the service on the other. The present book explores the barriers and propellers to the health care service whcih exist in the village through instituions and individual providers. The study revealed that over and above the economic propensity, social identiy , particulalry based on caste plays an important role in the access to health care services. The gradient of access from good to poor along the caste hierarchy is evident as one observes the households and the mother and children in them along the caste ladder. Sensitivity of the providers is also imortant in making the care available.
