Abstract Background: Maternal and child health care services are available in both public and private facilities in Nepal. No study has yet looked at trends in maternal and child health service use over time in Nepal. This paper assesses trends in and determinants of visiting private health facilities for maternal and child health needs using nationally representative data from the last three successive Nepal Demographic Health Surveys (NDHS). Methods: Data from the NDHS conducted in 2006, 2011, and 2016 were used. Maternal and child health-seeking was established using data on place of antenatal care (ANC), place of delivery, and place of treatment for child diarrhoea and fever/cough. Logistic regression models were fitted to identify trends in and determinants of health-seeking at private facilities. Results: The results indicate an increase in the use of private facilities for maternal and child health care over time. Across the three survey waves, women from the highest wealth quintile had the highest odds of accessing ANC services at private health facilities (AOR=6.0, CI= 3.78 -9.52 in 2006; AOR=5.6, CI= 3.51 – 8.81 in 2011; AOR=3.0, CI= 1.53 -5.91 in 2016). Women from the highest wealth quintile (AOR=8.3 CI= 3.97 – 17.42 in 2006; AOR=7.3, CI= 3.91 – 13.54 in 2011; AOR=3.3, CI= 1.54 – 7.09 in 2016) and women with more years of schooling (AOR=1.1, CI= 1.07 – 1.16 in 2006; AOR=1.1, CI= 1.04 – 1.14 in 2011; AOR=1.2, CI= 1.17 -1.27 in 2016) were more likely to deliver in private health facilities. Likewise, children belonging to the highest wealth quintile (AOR=6.4, CI= 1.59 – 25.85 in 2006; AOR=8.0, CI= 2.43 – 26.54 in 2016) were more likely to receive diarrhoea treatment in private health facilities.Conclusions: Women are increasingly visiting private health facilities for maternal and child health care in Nepal. Household wealth quintile, and the mother’s years of schooling were the major determinants for selecting private health facilities for these services. These trends indicate the importance of collaboration between private and public health facilities in Nepal to foster a public private partnership approach in the Nepalese health care sector.
