Institutional Vs. Non-institutional Deliveries – India
The care required to a woman during the period of her fertility i.e from age 15 when she gets matured sexually and socially, gets married, conceives and gives birth to children to age 44 years of her life when she begins to reach her menopause is very important. If the care taken during the childbearing process is not hygienic, then it can affect the reproductive and overall health of the woman as well as the health and well-being of the newborn. Hence, the place of delivery of the pregnant women is a significant aspect of reproductive health care of the mother as the quality of care received by the mother and the newborn baby depends upon the place of delivery.
