Abstract
Maternal mortality and morbidity continue to be high despite the existence of national programs for improving maternal and child health in India. This could be related to several factors an important one being non-utilization or under-utilization of maternal health-care services especially amongst the rural poor and urban slum population due to either lack of awareness or access to health-care services. Understanding of the knowledge and practices of the community regarding maternity care during pregnancy delivery and postnatal period is required for program implementation. Therefore the present study was carried out to evaluate the sociodemographic correlates and barriers of maternal healthcare utilization amongst married women aged 15-45 years living in a slum in Delhi.
