The National Family Health Survey data indicated that there had been an improvement in maternal and child health in Karnataka. The antenatal care (ANC) visits by pregnant women are increased from 68 per cent in 2005-06 to 70.9 per cent in 2019-20. According to NFHS-3(2005-06), 76 per cent of birth took place at health facilities which increased to 97 per cent in NFHS-5 (2019-20). So, institutional delivery is almost universal in the state. Postnatal Care (PNC) visits were also increased from 61.2 per cent in 2005-06 to 87.4 per cent in 2019-20. Full immunisation coverage was 55 per cent during 2005-06, which increased to 62.6 per cent in 2015-16 and further increased to 84.1 in 2019-20. As far as ANC is concerned, it ranges from 93 per cent in Chikkaballapura to 48 per cent in the Bengaluru district. In terms of institutional delivery, it is 80 per cent in Raichur district and 99 per cent in Ramanagara, Mandya and Bangalore rural districts. Postnatal care visits are highest in the Belgaum district (90%) and lowest in the Gulbarga district (41%). Dakshina Kannada has the highest immunisation coverage (77%), whereas Chikmagalur has the lowest (41%). Scheduled Caste (SC) mothers are less likely to receive maternal and health care services. Hindus use maternal and child health services slightly higher than Muslims or Christians. The gender gap in vaccination coverage has been shown to exist in the state of Karnataka. Boys are significantly more likely to receive full immunisation than their female counterparts.
