This study explored the current state of pregnancy care in Bangladesh using data from the
Bangladesh Demographic and Health survey (1999-2000), based on a nation-wide representative
sample. Data were collected from women with reference to the most recent live birth occurring
in the preceding five years. Findings revealed that 72% of the pregnant women did not have any
ANC visit while only 8% completed 4 visits. Of those who visited, 77% were attended by health
professionals (doctors, nurses, mid-wives). Most of the deliveries (92%) took place at home
while only 4% took place in govt. health facilities. Untrained TBAs delivered more than half of
the babies while only 7% of the deliveries were attended by qualified medical practitioners and
22% by relatives or other non-professionals. Deliveries by health professionals increased from
10% in 1993-94 to 14% in 1999-2000 (p<O.OOI), due largely to increase in the proportion of
delivery attended by doctors from 4.4% to 8.8% during this period. Logistic regression identified
mother's age, education, religion, residence, ANC visits and wealth quintiles to be important
predictors of the presence of skilled attendants at delivery. The programme implications of these
findings are discussed. |
