5. Delivery at home assisted by a Doctor/Nurse/LHV/ANM (%) in Arunachal Pradesh is
2.3% with very good indication in Papumpare district showing of nil report which fulfills
and serve the cause i.e. delivery at institutions.
6. Mother who received post natal care within 48 hours of delivery of their last child (%)
required to be emphasized more in Arunachal Pradesh as the data spelt out that only
38.3% of mother received post natal care within 48 hours. The prime reason being that
most of the mother discharged from the health facilities before 48 hours if there is no
complications as due to insufficient infrastructure facilities especially like lack of beds in
indoors as well as space for occupancy of patients and also due to insufficient numbers
of medical practitioners & paramedical staffs in the District Hospitals/ CHCs/ PHCs
and hence most mother never turned again for post natal care within 48 hours.
