Status of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) in Telangana

Motkuri, Venkatanarayana and Hansda, Lakhiram (2018): Status of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) in Telangana.

Abstract

The present note is about the status of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) in the undivided Andhra Pradesh and separate Telangana. It is bring out the performance of the state of Telangana in continuum from the levels inherited from the undivided Andhra Pradesh. The analysis above indicates that the achievement of Telangana state in respect of maternal and child health is falling far short of ideal situation or required health outcomes. The only solace is that its performance is relatively much better than all India average and performing no less than residual state of Andhra Pradesh. The associative factors one could observe for the relatively better performance of Telangana state in this regard is perhaps its relative advantage in respect of infrastructure particularly that of the availability of health workers.
