Our data shows that most women go to the private sector for most of their reproductive health needs. After our early interventions, eligible/BPL women began availing of the benefits of the Chiranjeevi Scheme when it started in 2007 (one free ANC and delivery at a private maternity home that is reimbursed by the State Government). However, quality of care was/is an issue – the promise of Skilled Birth Attendants was belied because the doctors employed traditional dais to do the normal Chiranjeevi deliveries! For complications and serious gynaecological complaints, poor women went to the Medical College Hospital which was choked with patients from neighbouring and distant districts. The absence of secondary hospitals in the city where they can get affordable health care for their gynaecological problems is felt acutely.
