In India, limited access to preventive care information and a low understanding of complications and risk factors among pregnant women and mothers, are some of the major factors that contribute to delays in seeking care. Even when women do access care in a timely manner, the quality of information and guidance they receive is often inadequate. The continuum of care—spanning early identification of risk factors, appropriate referrals, and effective treatment—is weak due to insufficient training, high workloads, and limited knowledge among health workers on quality reproductive, maternal, and child healthcare. This leads to unnecessary or delayed referrals, resulting in overcrowded tertiary care facilities and higher rates of maternal and child mortality and morbidity.
