Abstract
The result of state restructure included some rural settings into urban area in Nepal. It is advantageous to
understand the situation of maternal health care utilization among poor and non-poor in the new urban structure.
Officially, one-fifth of the total population is poor in the country. This study has utilized Nepal demographic and
health survey 2016 data set. Taking the lowest wealth quintile as poor and the remaining non-poor, result shows
that nearly 10 percentage point differences have been observed in utilizing recommended months of antenatal
care visits as well as full antenatal care among poor and non-poor. Such differences remained three times more
extensive in receiving delivery care from skilled birth attendants and the postnatal care within two days of delivery
among those groups. Even, urban poor women are less likely to receive all components of maternal health care.
Results of logistic regression confirm the lower chance of receiving full maternal health care by urban poor. Urban
centre of Nepal needs to address the urban poor especially in utilization of maternal health care in protecting and
saving health of mother and the newborn.
