Abstract
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and merely the absence of diseases and infirmity. It is complex and dependent on a host of factors. The health status of a person depends on a person's attitude and decisions. Reproduction-related illnesses have been a burden to women, which can also affect the overall system at all stages of a child. Reproductive health also means that women should have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of fertility regulation of their choice, as well as the right to appropriate health care services that will enable them to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth and provide couples with the best chance of having a healthy infant. Institutional delivery is considered to be an important indicator for the maternal health status. The area has enough health centre to cater the needs of the people, however, the same cannot be said for accessibility. Aside from physical and economic accessibility, people’s perception plays an important role in utilisation of health care services in the area. But external factors and physical and social conditions affect and influence a person's attitude toward his health. This called for critical analysis for the existing reproductive health status and address the urgent needs for improving the health status of both mother and child.
