Abstract
Introduction: A competent health system is of paramount
importance in delivering the desired health services in a particular
community.
Aim: The broad objective of this study was to assess the health
system competency for the maternal health services in Balasore
District and Jaleswar block of Balasore district, Odisha, India.
Materials and Methods: A mixed method approach was
adopted in order to understand the health system competency
for maternal health services in the study area.
Results: There was poor accessibility through road, poor
electricity connection and piped water for the health care centers
in the district. Even, existing Primary Health Centres (PHCs) lack
ECG and X-Ray machines for proper diagnostic services which
jeopardize the catering of health services. Community Health
Centres (CHC) lack basic diagnostic and ambulance services
making the tribal pockets inaccessible. The tribal dominated
Jaleswar block shows poor performance in terms of total
registered Antenatal Checkups (ANC) (only 77%). A gradual
decrease in the rate of ANC, from first to fourthcheckup, was
observed in the district.
Conclusion: Lack of public health infrastructure in general and
non-compliance to Indian Public Health Standards (IPHS) in
particular, affect the health of tribal women resulting in lack of
interest in availing the institutional delivery services and other
pertinent maternal health services.
