Abstract
UP has the 2<sup>nd</sup> highest MMR which is 197 compared with national average of 113 (RGI-SRS-2016-2018).Although institutional deliveries in India has been increased from 78.9% (NFHS-4) to 89% (NFHS-5) [ UP from 67.8% to 83.4%] but still we are far away from SDG -3 target. It reflects that there may be increase in crude coverage but not in effective coverage. It is a cross sectional study conducted in May - June 2017. Out of 8 blocks of rural Varanasi, 4 blocks were selected randomly. Best functioning facility for EmOC services in each selected block were assessed using Facility Gap Assessment Schedule of IPHS. None of the facility met the recommended standard for BEmOC .Tracking of drop out of ANC and PNC services, use of Partograph, treatment of abortion-related complications, were not found at all the 4 facility. Blood grouping and RH typing was also not functional at 2 of the 4 centers. Caesarean section and availability of blood bank were also lacking in CHC (FRU). If condition of best functioning facility in a block is not according to the recommendation then how can we expect to provide a good maternal health service to public.
