As per the records and case cards maintained bythe hospital, a total number of 760 women have accepted sterilization during the referenceperiod 1999-2001. Of these 389 have accepted the method in 1999-2000 and the remaining371 in 2000-2001. All the sterilizations performed are tubectomies, as the hospital does nothave a laproscope and tubal rings. An analysis of data presented in table 4 reveals thatexcept for the third quarter the number of sterilization acceptors increases from one quarterto another quarter. However, it is also clear that higher proportion of acceptors (45-47percent) in both the years have accepted the method in the fourth quarter. The reason for ahigher number of women opting for sterilization in the fourth quarter is that women inwinter season (January-March) are almost free from agricultural related work and therefore,prefer this season so that they can take adequate rest after sterilization. So far as thecomplications are concerned, the case cards maintained by the hospital did not show anywomen having experienced complications after the acceptance of the method. Further, noneof the women is reported to have died within one month after the acceptance of thesterilzation. However, the hospital has reported 1 failure case of sterilization among theacceptors who accepted the method during 1999-2001. All the cases of tubectomy are selfmotivatedand a meagre percentage just only five percent of acceptors have been motivatedby the staff of the hospital.Table 4Quarter-wise Performance of Sterilizations 1999-2001_________________________________________________________________________Ist Quarter 2nd Quarter 3 rd .
