Access to government health facilities in Marathwada: A case study of tribal women

The present paper is an attempt to study the availability of health facilities to tribal women in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra, India. It was observed that majority of the tribal women were unaware of the various schemes for pregnant women. Majority of the pregnant tribal women were not regularly visited by health staff. There is a need of spread of awareness of the government schemes among tribal women through education and mass awareness programmes. It is essential that nurses and other health workers should live in villages where primary health centres are located.
