Background: Antenatal service is an important strategy for improvement of maternal and child health, reduction of maternal mortality and neonatal death. But mere presence of this service is not enough. Utilization of the antenatal service is the most important aspect and there are many socio demographic factors that influence the women for its utilization. The objective of the study is to assess the utilization of antenatal services in the urban slums of Jorhat municipality, Assam and the socio - demographic factors affecting it.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was done among women of the slum areas who had at least a child less than one year by using a pre structured and predesigned questionnaire.  Results: Adequate utilization of antenatal service was 19% while inadequate utilization was 66%. 74.2% of women had at least one dose of TT and 87.2 % consumed Iron and Folic Acid tablets for four months or more. Women who were high school and above had either adequate (13.2%) or inadequate utilization (81.1%) and only 5.7% of them did not have any antenatal service at all as compared to 37.5% among illiterates. Religion, caste, age of the women, parity did not have much role in its utilization. Among women from the joint families who did not have any antenatal service was only 4.8% as compared to 19.2% of women from nuclear families.  Conclusions: Majority of women had inadequate utilization of antenatal service in the slum areas and education played a very important role. Key words: Utilization, antenatal services, slum area.

Background: Female sterilization, which is also called tubal ligation or tubal occlusion, is a surgical procedure which aims at permanent contraception. When female sterilization is performed at the time of birth with caesarean delivery or very soon after vaginal birth, such sterilization is called puerperal or postpartum sterilization. This study is to analyse the puerperal sterilization done in our hospital regarding age, living children, timing of sterilization and complications.Methods: A retrospective analytical study of 6069 cases of puerperal sterilization performed over a period of 5 years from January 2013 to December 2017.Results: During the study period, 6069 cases of puerperal sterilization cases were done. Out of which 4714 (77.67%) patients had undergone caesarean tubectomy, 1355 (22.32%) patients had undergone mini-laparotomy. Maximum number of patients was in the age group of 20-29yrs (80.3%). Majority of patients (68.62%) had two living children. Complications were encountered in 32.38% of patients.Conclusions: The findings in this study showed that the incidence of voluntary surgical contraception is low. Adequate education and counseling will lead to acceptance of the procedure and consequently, a reduction in high maternal mortality from unwanted pregnancies.
