5 INTRODUCTION Maternal health is closely linked to newborn survival. In India, where it is estimated that one woman dies of childbirth related complications every five <strong>min</strong>utes, we are hard-pressed to deter<strong>min</strong>e what strategies can actually ensure healthier behaviors and safer deliveries. Although facility births are increasing, the quality of care at birth, as well as the health information and networks available in rural areas, remains a major challenge. Many women still give birth at home, often in unsafe and unsanitary conditions, and rarely consult skilled health workers before or after delivery. As a result, many women and newborns needlessly die due to causes, which are largely preventable and treatable. EVERY FIVE MINUTES, AT LEAST ONE INDIAN WOMAN DIES DURING PREGNANCY AND CHILD BIRTH. World Health Organization, 2016 Infant Mortality Rate Maternal Mortality Rate UP UP 359 292 India India 212 178 2010 2012 2007 - 20019 2010 -2012 *Per 1,000 live births; Source: PIB *Per 100,000 live births; Source: PIB Health Indicators in Uttar Pradesh Uttar Pradesh (UP), India’s most populous state, persistently performs poorly on maternal mortality, reporting the maximum number of maternal deaths and Kerala the least 1 . A woman in UP has one in 42 lifetime risks of maternal death, where the probability is just one in 500 in Kerala 2 . Similarly, in the case of neonatal mortality, UP is among the top five high focus states, reporting 48 neonatal deaths per 1,000 live births 3 . UP also reports 95 under-five deaths per 1,000 live births 4 , equivalent to one death for every 13 school buses. Even more devastating is the fact that the majority of causes of death, like tetanus or diarrhoea, are largely preventable through vaccination or good hygiene. Limited Innovations Available Many private sector organizations are experimenting and innovating to address these challenges. Despite the existence of many proven life-saving interventions, there is still a dearth of community-based programs, which can take these interventions to scale rapidly and sustainably. Even where information is available, health seeking behaviors and barriers can often prevent women from adopting best practices, forcing many women to resort to high-risk behaviors 5 . Population Council heavily supported this reality in a landscape study in 2011 6 , stressing the need for Behavior Change Communication (BCC) strategies to address rural health barriers and shape demand for the adoption of preventative practices.
