ABSTRACT
A study was conducted in selected blocks of West Bengal to assess the utilization of available maternal health services specially immunization, antenatal care and other services. Coverage with two doses of tetanus toxoid levels varied between 58.6 to 86.7% but it fell far short of Universal Immunization Programme target of 100%. Drop out rates were slightly higher in the rural areas. It was observed that in 5 out of 7 blocks more than 55% of the deliveries were conducted either at hospital or Primary Health Centre by health personnel. However, untrained dais predominated over the trained dais in conducting deliveries in most of the areas. This indicates the poor availability or utilization of the latter.
