RESEARCH (BASED ON PRIMARY AND SECONDARY):

Statistical data which show the current situation of women and child care in India.

QUALITY CARE:

The provision of a high quality of care at maternal health facilities is not a luxury but a necessity. The definition of quality of care determines both the content and the process of care. In 1966 Donabedian defined the quality of care in a unique way:
“quality of care is the extent to which actual care is in conformity with present criteria for good care”.
