The study aims to analyze the utilization of maternal health care services in Odisha in general and at district level in particular by using the NFHS-5 (2019-21) data. For analytical purposes a composite z-score value of components of maternal health care services for all the districts have been calculated to show the most significant and insignificant districts.
