Executive summary

1. Introduction
India Population Project VIII has been extended to 11 cities in Karnataka to provide

Health and Family Welfare Services to the urban poor and slum populations in these cities to

provide Reproductive and Child Health (RCH) Services to the population
The present Baseline

Survey in Belgaum city is undertaken with the objective of

obtaining information pertaining to basic indicators.
The methodologies adopted for the survey comprised of door to door community survey

for obtaining necessary information on the baseline indicators pertaining to reproductive and
child health status, access and utilisation of critical RCH services and knowledge and attitudes
on key issues related to RCH and a facility survey to assess the present status of availability of

infrastructure, staff, equipment, drugs, IEC, MIS, etc. to provide quality MCH and FW services,

essential and emergency obstetric and pediatric care. Community survey was undertaken in 20
randomly selected clusters of slums and areas inhabited by poor populations in the city, selected
with probability proportional to sample size.
The survey was conducted during March 1999.

2. Findings of the community survey
2.1. Socio-demographic particulars of surveyed women

Of the total 2185 households surveyed, 67.8% were Hindus, 29.0% were Muslims and

1.1%

were Christians and another 2.1% were from other religions. The areas were

predominantly inhabited by lower socio-economic groups comprising of scheduled castes.
The literacy rate of the population aged over 6 years was 66.4% (74.4% males and 58.2%

females). With majority of the population the educational level was up to higher secondary level

only.

2.3. Environmental sanitation facilities
Majority of the households depended on public water facility ( 54.4%) and common taps
(4.5%). 35.5% of the households had their own toilet facilities , either pit type

(27.1%) or

sanitary type of latrine (8.4%) but a large proportion of the households (44.9%) had to depend on
open fields for defaecation and another 19.5% on common latrines.

2.3. Demographic Indicators

The sex ratio was 956 which was almost same as that of the state average of 960 and

more than that of the city. The population was composed of 38.0 % in 0- 14 years and 2.2% over
65 years. There were 51.8% women in the reproductive age group. The average size of the
family was 4.9. Three maternal deaths were reported for the previous five years.
2.4. Marital status
There were 56.6% unmarried males as compared to 48.6% females. Early marriages of

girls and boys still prevailed to a little extent as there were about 1.2% married girls and 0.6%
boys married before the legal age of marriage.
Most of the currently married women (83.5%) were married by the age of 19 years. There
were 19.3% who were married before the age of 15 years and only 16.5% were married later
than 19 years.
The knowledge on legal age at marriage for girls was poor with both women and men,

and more so with regard to the legal age at marriage for boys. Only 57.0% currently married
women in the reproductive age group and another 57.9% of men knew about the correct legal
age at marriage for girls while the corresponding percentages for the legal age at marriage for

boys were only 34.9% and 28.8% .
2.5. Fertiiity status

The crude birth rate works out to be 28.9 on an average of the previous two years. 43.4%

of the births were contributed mostly by mothers in the age group 20-24 years but still there

were 26.1% births for mothers aged below 20 years. And another 6.6% births for mothers aged
over 29 years. Parity wise, although 65.8% of births were of parity up to two, there were 17.4%
of over third parity. From the age wise parity status of mothers it is seen that there were 21.6% of

mothers with over first parity even in the age group below 19 years and 25.4% with over second

parity in that age group 20-24 years.
The general fertility rate was around 114.5. Age specific fertility rate was highest with

217.5 in the age group 20-24 years followed by 149.2 in the age group 19-24 and 126.2 in the
age group 15-19 years. Total fertility rate was 2.75.

There were on average 2.78 pregnancy events for mothers of all age groups, comprising
of 2.64 live births, 0.03 still births and 0.10 abortions. In the youngest age group 15-19 years the

average of total number of pregnancies was 0.882 indicating less than one pregnancy per mother.

2

2.6. Safe motherhood
Majority of the mothers who had delivered during the previous two years had availed of

ante-natal check ups (92.4%). Of those who had availed antenatal check up, 63.5% had initiated
the check up in the first trimester, but only 51.4% had more than four check ups and there were

only 5% who had only 1 to 2 check ups.
Utilisation of public sector facilities for antenatal care was only 46.4% and the coverage
by the health worker at home was negligible (1.1%).

There were 11.2% of deliveries who had not received any tetanus toxoid immunisation
during pregnancy.

Nearly a third of the delivered women (36.5%) had not consumed any Iron and folic acid
tablets during pregnancy. The number of those who had consumed more than 90 tablets was very

minimal (23.4%).
About 24.8% pregnant women had not received any advice during antenatal check up and
only 42.9% mothers were advised on initiating the new bom on breast feed immediately after

birth.. Similarly advice on contraception was also minimal (17.6%).
Danger signs during pregnancy was not known to 54.5% of currently married women in
the reproductive age group while the knowledge on danger signs during delivery and postnatal
period was known only to 84.5%, mostly partially.

Postnatal check up was availed by only 18.3% of mothers, that too only once or twice.

Although most of these pregnancies were wanted, there were 20.5% which were not

desired at that time or were not desired at all.
2.7. Child health

Only 62.3% of the new bom were administered with colostrum, while 32.2% of new born

children were initiated on breast milk within an hour of their birth, while 27.9% were initiated
as late as more than a day.
Plain water was administered in about 24% of new bom children within 3 months and

another 31.7% in 4-5 months.
Similarly other liquids were administered to about 13.1% of new bom within 5 months.
Breast feeding was stopped after 6 months in 26 8% of infants. Only in 33.9% of infants it was

continued to varying periods between 7 to 12 months. Supplementary feeding was started around
4-5 months only in 11.5% of infants.

3

The prevalence of diarrohea in the previous two weeks from the survey was 6.2%. Of

these episodes, only about 65% had sought some medical advice. While 25% of the episodes

were treated by Public Sector Institutions, Private Practitioners were consulted in 40%.

Quantum of fluids were reduced in 10.0% of episodes while it was increased in only
35.0%. ORS from packets were advised by medical practioners in only 50% of episodes.

Prevalence of ARI during two weeks preceding the survey was 10.0%. Of these episodes
medical advice was not sought in 32.3%, while Private doctors were consulted in majority of
episodes (43.5%).

Only 76% of mothers had the immunisation cards of their children.
The coverage for various doses of vaccines ranged from 83.6% for measles to 94.5% for
BCG. While 91.8% children had completed DPT only 88.2% had completed OPV. The drop out

rates of OPV and DPT from first to third dose were 6.7% and 2.0% respectively. However, the
drop out rate for Measles vaccination was as high as 11.5%.
Only 26.2% of children were normal (MUAC >14 cms). There were 61.9% children who

were mildly malnourished and another 11.8% severally malnourished.
2.8. Place of medical care
Public sector Institutions were utilised by 60% of the women for their problems during

pregnancy, in 25% of diarroheal episodes and 23% of ARI episodes. On questioning the mothers

about their willing to pay for services, only 23.2% expressed their willingness to pay amounts
mostly ranging between Rs 10 to 20 per month.
2.9. Contraceptive Knowledge and Practices

Almost all the men and women were aware of use of contraceptives for limiting the
family size. While female sterilisation was the most commonly known method ( 98.5% of

women and 99% men). Men were better aware of all the methods more so for male methods like
vasectomy and condoms.

Awareness on the availability of contraceptives at Public sector Institutions especially

with oral pills and condoms was lacking very much with both men and women. Only 17.2% of

men and 33.2% of women knew about the availability of oral pills at Public sector institutions
while this proportion was only 13.3% for men and 19.3% for women with respect to condoms.
Medical shops were the most commonly known sources of supply for these methods. This is

4

further reflected by the fact that majority of the current users of oral pills and condoms obtained

their supplies (90.0%) from private sources or medical shops.
Majority of men and women approved of family planning methods to limit the family

size but there were still about 11.6% of men and 8.8% of women who did not either approve or
had no opinion on the use of FP methods. This indicates females were better motivated than
males for the use of family planning methods.

The contraceptive prevalence rate was 54.2% , comprising mostly of female sterilisation

(49.5%), which contributed for 91.3% of total acceptors of FP methods . Condom acceptors

(1.1%), acceptors of Oral pill (1.1%) as well as Vasectomy (0.6%)were negligible in number.
IUD acceptance was slightly better (1.9%). Thus adoption of spacing methods as well as

Vasectomy was very poor.
The “ unmet need” for family planning i.e. the proportion of total couples in the

reproductive age group who do not want to have any more children or delay the pregnancy
excluding those who are with secondary sterility, but not using any method for various reasons,

was 24.3%.
Of those who are likely to use any method in the near future, majority expressed that they
would use in a year’s time (93.5%) and the most likely method of choice was female sterilisation
(80.6%) followed by IUD (9.7%).

Of the 434 who were not using any method, about 53.2% desired more number of
children. Of those who desired more children about 39% wanted a son, while another 9.5%

wanted two or more sons. There were 58.8% mothers who did not want to have any more

daughters., while only 22.5% wanted another daughter and 13% wanted two daughters. About

38% of women were not very particular about the sex of the desired child. This clearly

demonstrates attitudes of the community towards son preference. Those who wanted more
children, majority wanted to have the next child within one year (48.1%).

There were about 39.7% mothers with less than one year birth interval between the
previous two pregnancies. Only 39% mothers had more than three years birth interval.
2.10. Reproductive tract infections amongst women

Prevalence rate of different symptoms of reproductive tract infections was 33.8%. The

person prevalence of RTI was 25.1%. The most common symptoms were Back ache (24%), and
Abnormal vaginal discharge (4.1%).

5

Majority of these symptoms were lasting for more than six months (46.8%) and some of

them for many months. About half of these symptoms (54.8%) had availed medical treatment,
mostly from allopathic doctors. Common reasons attributed for not availing treatment were

either shyness or not feeling serious about the symptoms. .Most of the women were not aware of
the source of their symptom.

Investigation or treatment of spouse was not common and was done only with 1.6%
episodes.
2.11. Abortion practices
4.70% women gave history of abortions. Of them about 35.6% were induced while others

were spontaneous. Probably many of the spontaneous abortions are under reported. The common
reason attributed for induced abortions were unwanted pregnancy (75%). Although most of the

abortions were carried out by medical personnel, there were 13.3% which were done by non­
medical personnel. Post abortion check up was availed only in 68.9% of cases, while post

abortion contraception was practiced only in 22.2% of cases. Legality of MTP was known only
to 57.8% of women.
2.12. Knowledge on Sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS
Many of women and men were aware of HIV/ AIDS (46.5% women and 52.7% men),

while awareness on sexually transmitted diseases was negligible (0.9% women and 3.4% men).
Of those who were aware of HIV/AIDS, a large proportion knew all the three routes of

transmission. In majority of respondents knowledge about the disease was acquired through

Radio or TV., while health personnel had given the awareness only in a small proportion of
respondents. Knowledge on protection from the disease was also known in majority of men

(more than 85%) while these were known to a lesser number of women, especially about use of
condom.
2.13. Knowledge and attitudes of adolescents
95.2 of the girls were not married and the rest of the girls were married but had not

consummated their marriage.
There were 20% illiterates amongst these girls. Of those who had gone to the school,

most of them had studied up to middle or high school (66.6%).

Most of the girls had their onset of menstruation (74.2%), but only 23.7% of girls had
knowledge about menstruation before its onset.

6

About one third of these girls remained normal at the onset (36.6%), while the remaining
had different apprehensions and fears. Majority got worried and did not know what is happening
and even wept with fear.
Nearly 30% of girls follow various religious restrictions during menstruation.

Only a few girls use sanitary napkins while the others use piece of cloth (91.6%). This
cloth is mostly reused and majority of the girls wash them with soap (98.5%).

Knowledge on legal age at marriage for boys and girls was moderate, but slightly better

with regard to age for girls (55.4%) as compared to that of boys (43.5%).

Only 47% of the girls knew that contraceptives can be used for avoiding pregnancy. The
most commonly known method being Tubectomy (37.2%), followed by oral pills (16.4%). Few

of the girls knew about Vasectomy (13.6%) but condom use was not known to many (8.6%).
Only a few girls (29.3%) knew that unwanted pregnancy can be terminated. Further only about
19% knew that medical termination of pregnancy is legal.

2.14. Health Facilities in the city
The existing health facilities in the City consisted of one Govt. Dist. Hospital, one
Private Medical College Hospital, one Charitable Hospital, two Municipal institutions and over

15 Private Institutions (Smaller Hospitals or Nursing Homes) (Annexure 2). Of these all the
institutions under Government, Municipal and Charitable sector along with ten private
institutions offering MCH and FW services were surveyed.

There were 1744 beds in the City, 372 (21%) were for maternity and 170 (10%) for

pediatrics services. The total number of free beds availabile for maternity and pediatric services
were 169 and 80 respectively. Of the 169 free maternity beds, only 22 (16+6) were in the two

municipal institutions.
Except for routine maternity services, the population is mostly dependent on the Govt.

District Hospital for all MCH and FW services.
In the Institutions under municipal sector, no qualified obstetricians and pediatricians

were available to provide MCH and FW services. However, qualified medical and nursing

manpower was available in the Govt, sector while in the FPAI (charitable) Hospital, qualified
personnel were available only for FP services. Private Institutions had the services of qualified

persons (Obstetrician / Paedeatrician / Anesthetist) on consultation or on call basis (part-time /

visiting) as per needs.

7

Though the municipal sector had OT and bed facility, adequate MCH services were not

provided due to non availability of qualified staff (Obg. / Paed). However, the Govt, and Private
Sector institutions had adequate facilities for MCH and FP services while in the charitable FPAI

Hospital only facilities for FP services were available.
In the municipal Institutions, only the general MCH and FW drugs were available while
in the Govt.Hospital it was available for all the services and so was in the Privately run hospitals.

The FPAI (charitable) Hospital had drugs for only FP services.
The municipal institutions i.e., two corporation maternity homes were with basic

infrastructure and general facilities for MCH and FW. However, the facility for sanitary disposal
of solid waste was not available in any of the institutions.
MIS and communication facilities were generally satisfactory, but the Fax facility was

available only in the Dist hospital and the Private Medical college Hospital.
2.15. Conclusions



The population mostly comprised of lower economic groups like backward castes and

scheduled castes and tribes. The literacy rate was moderate.
*

Access to safe drinking water was limited while access to sanitary toilet facilities was poor.



Marriages were common in the adolescent ages for girls. Not many persons were aware of
the legal age at marriage for boys.



The fertility indicators for women indicated high fertility.



Safe mother hood practices

lacked with regard to maternal immunisation, prophylaxis

against anaemia and post natal check up. Awareness on danger signs during antenatal and

natal periods was not complete.


Healthy breast feeding practices for new bom were lacking especially for weaning practices.

*

Diarrohea management practices were deficient with regard to ORT.

*

Immunisation coverage was poor for OPV and Measles.

*

Malnutrition amongst underfive children was high.

*

Contraceptive prevalence rates were below average, and acceptors of FP methods comprised
mostly of female sterilisations and adoption of spacing methods were negligible.



There was high unmet need for contraception in the community.



Son preference of the community was evident.



High prevalence of Symptoms of RTI were present.

8



There were a few abortions attended by unqualified practitioners. Awareness on legality of

MTP was poor.



Awareness on transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS was good but on other sexually

transmitted diseases were almost not known.
■ Adolescent were highly lacking in sex education.
■ Private practitioners were preferred mostly for treatment of maternal complications but less

for child hood diseases.
1

■ Many of the respondents were not willing to pay for the services.

■ The MCH and FW infrastructure, facilities, manpower and services was meagre in the

municipal sector. The population depended on the Govt. District Hospital, the Private Sector

hospitals the FPAI (charitable) hospital to some extent.

■ There is a need for strengthening the MCH and FW services through the municipal sector.
■ Areasfor strengthening IEC component:










Legal age at marriage for boys and girts
ANC care especially administration of IFA tablets and tetanus toxoid immunisation.
Postnatal care and check up
Breast feeding practices especially exclusive breast feeding up to four months and
weaning by five to six months.
Diarrohea management especially Oral rehydration therapy.
Education on small family norm and spacing methods.
Adolescent education on sex.
Education on sexually transmitted as well as reproductive tract infections amongst
women.

Recommendations for strengthening MCH & FWfacilities:
■ The new Health Centres should be provided with services of a qualified Lady Medical

Officer for providing MTP services and a qualified honorary Pediatrician on part time basis
for providing essential specialised pediatric care, along with essential newborn care facilities.


Adequate basic facilities like continuous water supply, IEC facilities, facilities for sanitary
solid waste disposal. Telephone facilities should be ensured.

1. Introduction
India Population Project VIII has been extended to 11 cities in Karnataka to provide

Health and Family Welfare Services to the urban poor and slum populations in these cities. To

fulfill this objective, it is planned under the project to provide Reproductive and Child Health
(RCH) Services to the population by

establishing 8 new Maternity homes, 45 new health

Centres, renovate 21 Urban Family Welfare Centres (UFWC) and 14 Post Partum Centres (PPC)

through the respective municipal corporations in these cities.

A Baseline Survey in Belgaum city is undertaken by M/S Centre for Research in
Health & Social Welfare Management, Bangalore. The objective of this baseline survey is to

obtain information pertaining to indicators :

1. Current reproductive and child health status of target population.
2. Access to and utilization of critical RCH services and barriers to utilization.
3. Knowledge and attitudes on key issues related to RCH.

4. Availability of infrastructure, staff, equipment, drugs, IEC, MIS, etc. to provide quality
MCH and FW services, essential and emergency obstetric and pediatric care.

10

2. Methodologies adopted for the survey
The methodologies adopted for the survey comprised of door to door community survey

for obtaining necessary information on the baseline indicators pertaining to reproductive and

child health status, access and utilisation of critical RCH services and knowledge and attitudes
on key issues related to RCH and a facility survey to assess the present status of availability of
infrastructure, staff, equipment, drugs, DEC, MIS, etc. to provide quality MCH and FW services,

essential and emergency obstetric and pediatric care.
The details of the above methodologies are described below.

a. Community survey
Community survey is undertaken in 20 randomly selected clusters of slums and areas

inhabited by poor populations in the city. The Sample of clusters is selected out of a Universe,
listing all the slums and areas inhabited by poor populations in the city, obtained through the

respective municipalities. Sample of clusters were selected with probability proportional to

sample size. Each cluster was arbitrarily divided into four approximately equal quadrants after
inspection of the entire cluster as well as discussions with the local leaders. This division was

done to ensure proper representation of all the sections of population in the sample. With in each

section canvassing of schedules was started at a random point and all house holds were covered
in a sequential order till the desired sample size was completed for the survey. One fourth of the
total sample size was covered from each quadrant. The list of clusters selected for the survey is
given under Annexure 1.

It was envisaged that in the city 1000 currently married women, 300 married males and
600 adolescent girls in the age group 10 to 18 years were to be interviewed for obtaining the

relevant information. Further, for obtaining information on births and deaths of under five
children and mothers, a total of 2000 households with approximately 10000 population were to

be interviewed. However due to non availability of respondents in spite of repeated visits, 981

currently married women, 292 married males, 581 adolescent girls and 2268 house holds, with a
population of 10671, for information on births and deaths were covered for the survey. The
information were collected by door to door survey method on pre-designed and pre-tested

questionnaires. The questionnaires were discussed with the Project Co-ordinator before

finalisation. The questionnaires used for the survey are enclosed in Annexure 3.

11

The interviews were conducted by qualified and trained interviewers, who were given

further intensive training relating to the present survey schedules for one week both in the class

room and field settings. The survey was supervised by an experienced Supervisor, who
undertook day to day editing of all the completed questionnaires.

Broad category of variables covered under the survey comprise of:

• Household particulars.
• Births & deaths in the household (maternal & child).
• Maternity history.


Knowledge about safe motherhood & maternal care.

• Knowledge, Attitude and Practices on Population dynamics and Family planning.
• Knowledge and practices on child care.


Management of ARI & Diarrhoeal diseases.

• Knowledge and management of reproductive tract infections (RTI / STD).
• Awareness about HIV / AIDS.
• Knowledge and practices with regard to abortion.
• Knowledge and practices of adolescent girls regarding menstrual hygiene.
b. Facility survey

A survey of available medical facilities and infrastructure was undertaken in the city on a
sample basis to obtain information on the available medical infrastructure. This survey covered
the District Hospital under government facility and ten leading private institutions providing
MCH and FW services in the city.

The broad category of variables covered under this component are :

• Infrastructure facilities.



Services provided.



IEC and MIS activities.



Availability of drugs.

The following methods were used for the survey.
• Desk review of the reports and records at the Bangalore IPPVIII office.



Discussions with the Project Co-ordinator.

12

• Listing of all Government and major private medical and health facilities in the city
with the help of respective Municipal Commissioners and Health Officers and
selection of a sample of health institutions for the facility survey. The list of
Institutions covered for survey is enclosed under Annexure 2.



Visits to the selected health institutions by a team of public health specialists
(medical).



Collection of necessary information on a pre-tested, structured, partly open-ended
interview cum observation schedule discussed and approved by the Project Co­

ordinator (Annexure 4).
The personal efforts by municipal commissioners and the health officers ensured the co­

operation by the private institutions.
The survey team leader and some of the members of the survey team had undertaken the
Mid-Term Review of IPPVIII of Bangalore City in April - June, 1998 and were already familiar

with the project needs and created facilities and their usage / benefits. This greatly benefited the
survey team performance.
The survey was conducted during March 1999.
The data was analysed on Pentium PCs using EPI info software.

c. Educational Status
The literacy rate of the population aged over 6 years was 66.4% (74.4% males and 58.2%

32.9% males and 22.6% females educated between high School and higher secondary level.

There were only about 2.0% males and 1.0% females educated beyond this level. Thus with
majority of the population the educational level was up to higher secondary level only.(Table 2).

c. Knowledge on legal age at marriage
The knowledge on legal age at marriage for girls was poor with both women and men,

and more so with regard to the legal age at marriage for boys. Only 57.0% currently married
women in the reproductive age group and another 57.9% of men knew about the correct legal
age at marriage for girls while the corresponding percentages for the legal age at marriage for

boys were only 34.9% and 28.8% (Table 8).

3.5. Fertility status

There were 617 births recorded in the previous two years for a population of 10671.
Thus the crude birth rate works out to be 28.9 on an average in the previous two years.
Although 43.4% of these births were contributed mostly by mothers in the age group 2024 years, there were 26.1% births for mothers aged below 20 years. And another 6.6% births for

mothers aged over 29 years (Table 9).
Parity wise, although 65.8% of births were of parity up to two, there were 17.4% of over
third parity (Table 10).
From the age wise parity status of mothers it is seen that there were 21.6% of mothers
with over first parity even in the age group below 19 years and 25.5% with over second parity in

that age group 20-24 years, which is a serious matter of concern (Table 11).
The general fertility rate was around 114.5. Age specific fertility rate was highest with

217.5 in the age group 20-24 years followed by 149.2 in the age group 19-24 and 126.2 in the
age group 15-19 years. Total fertility rate was 2.75 (Table 12).

3.6. Safe motherhood
a. Antenatal care

Majority of the mothers who had delivered during the previous two years had availed of

ante-natal check ups (92.4%). However this was below the target of 100%. Of those who had
availed antenatal check up, 63.5% had initiated the check up in the first trimester, but only
51.4% had more than four check ups and there were only 5% who had only 1 to 2 check ups.
Utilisation of public sector facilities for antenatal care was only 46.4% and that too

coverage by the health worker at home was negligible (1.1 %).
There were 11.2% of deliveries who had not received any tetanus toxoid immunisation

during pregnancy.

Nearly a third of the delivered women (36.5%) had not consumed any Iron and folic acid

tablets during pregnancy. The number of those who had consumed more than 90 tablets was very
minimal (23.4%).

About 24.8% pregnant women had not received any advice during antenatal check up and
only 42.9% mothers were advised on initiating the new bom on breast feed immediately after
birth.. Similarly advice on contraception was also minimal (17.6%) (Table 14).

Danger signs during pregnancy was not completely known to 54.5% of currently married
women in the reproductive age group while the knowledge on danger signs during delivery and

postnatal period was known only to 84.5%, mostly partially. (Table 15).
b. Post natal check up

Postnatal check up was availed by only 18.3% of mothers, that too only once or twice

(Table 16).
c. Desirability of latest pregnancy

Although most of these pregnancies were wanted, there were 20.5% which were not
desired at that time or were not desired at all (Table 17).

3.7. Child health
a. Infantfeeding practices

Healthy feeding practices during infancy and early child hood were not very common.

children were initiated on breast milk within an hour of their birth, while 27.9% were initiated
as late as more than a day.

Plain water was administered in about 24% of new born children within 3 months and
i

another 31.7% in 4-5 months.

Similarly other liquids were administered to about 13.1% of new bom within 5 months
(Table 18)

Breast feeding was stopped after 6 months in 26.8% of infants. Only in 33.9% of infants
it was continued to varying periods between 7 to 12 months.
Supplementary feeding was started around 4-5 months only in 11.5% of infants (Table

b. Diarrohea Management

The prevalence of diarrohea in the previous two weeks from the survey was 6.2%. Of
these episodes, only about 65% had sought some medical advice. While 25% of the episodes

were treated by Public Sector Institutions, Private Practitioners were consulted in 40% (Table

19).

27

Only 76% of mothers had the immunisation cards of their children.
The coverage for various doses of vaccines ranged from 83.6% for measles to 94.5% for
BCG. While 91.8% children had completed DPT only 88.2% had completed OPV. The drop out

rates of OPV and DPT from first to third dose were 6.7% and 2.0% respectively. However, the
drop out rate for Measles vaccination was as high as 11.5%. (Table 21).

3.8. Place of medical care

Public sector Institutions were utilised by 60% of the women for their problems during
pregnancy, in 25% of diarroheal episodes and 23% of ARI episodes. On questioning the mothers

about their willing to pay for services, only 23.2% expressed their willingness to pay amounts

mostly ranging between Rs 10 to 20 per month (Tables 23 &24).

3.9. Contraceptive Knowledge and Practices
cl Knowledge and attitude on FP

Almost all the men and women were aware of use of contraceptives for limiting the
family size. While female sterilisation was the most commonly known method ( 98.5% of

women and 99% men). Men were better aware of all the methods more so for male methods like

vasectomy and condoms (Table 25).
Awareness on the availability of contraceptives at Public sector Institutions especially

with oral pills and condoms was lacking very much with both men and women. Only 17.2% of
men and 33.2% of women knew about the availability of oral pills at Public sector institutions

while this proportion was only 13.3% for men and 19.3% for women with respect to condoms.
Medical shops were the most commonly known sources of supply for these methods. This is

31

KJH' t^0

07 7 OU

further reflected by the fact that majority of the current users of oral pills and condoms obtained

their supplies (90.0%) from private sources or medical shops (Table 26).
Although majority of men and women approved of family planning methods to limit the
family size, there were still about 11.6% of men and 8.8% of women who did not either approve

or had no opinion on the use of FP methods. This indicates females were better motivated than
males for the use of family planning methods (Table 27).

b. Contraception practices
The contraceptive prevalence rate was 54.2% , comprising mostly of female sterilisation

(49.5%), which contributed for 91.3% of total acceptors of FP methods . Condom acceptors
(1.1%), acceptors of Oral pill (1.1%) as well as Vasectomy (0.6%)were negligible in number.
IUD acceptance was slightly better (1.9%). Thus adoption of spacing methods as well as

Vasectomy was very poor. (Table 28)

Of those who have not adopted any FP method , about 22.8% expressed desire to adopt
the same in the near future. Common reasons expressed for non use were opposition for FP, lack

of knowledge or apprehensions, which indicates the necessity of stepping up IEC activities
(Table 30). The

unmet need” for family planning i.e. the proportion of total couples in the

34

reproductive age group who do not want have any more children or delay the pregnancy

excluding those who are with secondary sterility, but not using any method for various reasons,

was 24.3%. These couples were those who had apprehensions or lack of knowledge on methods
or those who were motivated and willing to adopt the methods in the near future.
Of those who are likely to use any method in the near future, majority expressed that they

would use in a year’s time (90.3%) and the most likely method of choice was female sterilisation
(80.6%) followed by IUD (9.7%) (Table 31).

The attitudes of those who are not using any FP method was assessed in terms of their

desire to have more children. It was seen that of the 434 who were not using any method, about
53.2% desired more number of children. Of those who desired more children about 39% wanted
a son, while another 9.5% wanted two or more sons. There were 58.8% mothers who did not
want to have any more daughters., while only 34.6% wanted another daughter and 6.5% wanted

two daughters. About 38% of women were not very particular about the sex of the desired child.
This clearly demonstrates attitudes of the community towards son preference. Those who wanted

more children, majority wanted to have the next child within one year (48.1 %) (Table 32).

There were about 39.7% mothers with less than one year birth interval between the
previous two pregnancies. Only 39% mothers had more than three years birth interval.

3.10. Reproductive tract infections amongst women

Prevalence rate of different symptoms of reproductive tract infections was 33.8%. The
person prevalence of RTI was 25.1%. The most common symptoms were Back ache (24%), and
Abnormal vaginal discharge (4.1%) (Table 34).

Majority of these symptoms were lasting for more than six months (46.8%) and some of

them for many months (Table 35).
About half of these symptoms (54.8%) had availed medical treatment , mostly from
allopathic doctors (Table 36). Common reasons attributed for not availing treatment were either

shyness or not feeling serious about the symptoms or lack of time. .Most of the women were not

aware of the source of their symptom.

3.12. Knowledge on Sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS

Many of women and men were aware of HIV/ AIDS (46.5% women and 52.7% men),
while awareness on sexually transmitted diseases was negligible (0.9% women and 3.4% men).
Of those who were aware of HIV/AIDS, a large proportion knew all the three routes of

transmission. However certain aspects on the spread of the disease was not known to the desired
level. While most of the men knew that disease is not curable, a lesser number of women knew
about it. In majority of respondents knowledge about the disease was acquired through Radio or

TV., while health personnel had given the awareness only in a small proportion of respondents

(Tables 39 & 40). Knowledge on protection from the disease was also known in majority of men
(more than 85%) while these were known to a lesser number of women, especially about use of
condom ((Table 41).

3.13. Knowledge and attitudes of adolescents
a. Back ground characteristics of adolescents

WHO has defined adolescents as girls aged between 10 to 18 years. Due to non response

from girls who are very young only girls aged between 12 to 18 years and over were included for

the present survey. Only girls who were not married and were not living with their husbands
were considered for the survey. Thus 95.2% of the girls were not married and the rest of the
girls were married but had not consummated their marriage.
There were 20% illiterates amongst these girls. Of those who had gone to the school,

most of them had studied up to middle or high school (66.6%).

b. Knowledge, attitudes and practices during menstruation

Most of the girls had their onset of menstruation (74.2%), but only 23.7% of girls had
knowledge about menstruation before its onset.

About one third of these girls remained normal at the onset (36.6%), while the remaining
had different apprehensions and fears. Majority got worried and did not know what is happening

and even wept with fear.

Nearly 30% of girls follow various religious restrictions during menstruation.

Only a few girls use sanitary napkins while the others use piece of cloth (91.6%). This
cloth is mostly reused and majority of the girls wash them with soap (98.5%). (Table 43).

Existing MCH and FW Facilities
Though the municipal sector had OT and bed facility, adequate MCH services were not
provided due to non availability of qualified staff (Obg. / Paed). However, the Govt, and Private

Sector institutions had adequate facilities for MCH and FP services while in the charitable FPAI

Hospital only facilities for FP services were available.

^Physical Infrastructure and General Facilities
The municipal institutions i.e., two corporation maternity homes were with basic

infrastructure and general facilities for MCH and FW. However, the facility for sanitary disposal
of solid waste was not available in none of the institutions.

Management Information System and Communication
MIS and communication facilities were generally satisfactory, but the Fax facility was

available only in the Dist hospital and the Private Medical college Hospital.

A Conclusion

1.

The MCH and FW infrastructure, facilities, manpower and services was meagre in the

municipal sector. The population depended on the Govt. District Hospital, the Private
Sector hospitals the FPAI (charitable) hospital to some extent.
2.

There is a need for strengthening the MCH and FW services through the municipal

sector.
j. Some observation on the Project proposals
1.

The existing two maternity homes to be renovated and at each of these centres LMO

with DGO qualification (MD preferable) to be appointed.
2.

At the renovated maternity homes, services of pediatrician (DCH qualified minimum,

MD preferable) to be appointed on part-time / honorary basis (on the lines of IPP-VIII of

Bangalore city). Facilities for neonatal resuscitation and essential newborn care

including radiant warmer and Photo therapy services are to be made available in these
institutions.
3.

At the Angol maternity Home, adequate water supply (sump, pump and overhead sintex
tank or bore well) is to be provided.

4.

The maternity homes at Basavangalli are to be provided with generator facilities for OT.

5.

Laundry services, facilities for sanitary disposal of solid wastes are to be made available

at maternity homes and one ambulance is to be stationed at Basavangalli Maternity
home to cover all the Municipal health facilities. All the proposed health institutions are

to be provided with telephones, TV/VCR/MCH and FW video cassettes and hired private
security services.
6.

One staff quarters is to be built near the Angol Maternity home.

7.

The maternity homes are to be promoted as ‘baby friendly hospitals’ with proper

training, facilities and certification from the State task force.
8.

At the new health centres, one female medico-social worker is to be appointed to

strengthen IEC activities, supervise link workers at the community level and for effective
linkages between health centres, maternity homes (referral institutions / and the district
hospital.

54

9.

If MTPs are planned to be conducted at new health centres, LMOs with DGO
qualification are to be appointed or alternatively part-time LMO/ OBG specialist (MD

preferably with MD or DGO minimum) may be contracted (to visit at least on 3days a
week on honorary basis) specifically for reproductive health services for women.

55

4. Summary and Conclusions
The summary of key indicators is provided in Table 55.
The following observations emerge out of these indicators.



The population mostly comprised of lower economic groups like backward castes and

scheduled castes and tribes. The literacy rate was moderate.


Access to safe drinking water was limited while access to sanitary toilet facilities was poor.



Marriages were common in the adolescent ages for girls. Not many persons were aware of

the legal age at marriage for boys.


The fertility indicators for women indicated high fertility.



Safe mother hood practices lacked with regard to maternal immunisation, prophylaxis

against anaemia and post natal check up. Awareness on danger signs during antenatal and
natal periods was partial.



Healthy breast feeding practices for new bom were lacking especially for weaning practices.



Diarrohea management practices were deficient with regard to ORT.



Immunisation coverage was poor for OPV and Measles.



Malnutrition amongst underfive children was high.



Contraceptive prevalence rates were below average, and acceptors of FP methods comprised

mostly of female sterilisations and adoption of spacing methods were negligible.



There was high unmet need for contraception in the community.



Son preference of the community was evident.



High prevalence of Symptoms of RTI were present.



There were a few abortions attended to by unqualified practitioners. Awareness on legality
of MTP was poor.



Awareness on transmission and prevention of HIV/AIDS was good but on other sexually

transmitted diseases were almost not known.



Adolescent were highly lacking in sex education.



Private practitioners were preferred mostly for treatment of maternal complications.



Many of the respondents were not willing to pay for the services.



The MCH and FW infrastructure, facilities, manpower and services was meagre in the

municipal sector. The population depended on the Govt. District Hospital, the Private Sector
hospitals the FPAI (charitable) hospital to some extent.
56



There is a need for strengthening the MCH and FW services through the municipal sector.

Areas for strengthening IEC component are:





Legal age at marriage for boys and girls
ANC care especially administration of IFA tablets and tetanus toxoid immunisation.
Postnatal care and check up
Breast feeding practices especially exclusive breast feeding up to four months and
weaning by five to six months.
• Diarrohea management especially Oral rehydration therapy.
• Education on small family norm and spacing methods.
• Adolescent education on sex.
• Education on sexually transmitted as well as reproductive tract infections amongst
women.
Recommendations on facilities:
■ The new Health Centres should be provided with services of a qualified Lady Medical
Officer for providing MTP services and a qualified honorary Pediatrician on part time basis

for providing essential specialised pediatric care, along with essential newborn care facilities.


Adequate basic facilities like continuous water supply, IEC facilities, facilities for sanitary
solid waste disposal. Telephone facilities should be ensured.
