Among postpartum complications in rural group, PPH accounts for 06%, post-partum eclampsia 01%, pyrexia 03%, pelvic hematoma in 01%, episiotomy gaping in 01% & in LSCS delayed wound healing was 07% while in urban group PPH 1%, pyrexia 01%, post LSCS delayed wound healing was 04%. Blood was transfused in 13 patients in rural group and in 04 patients in urban group. Incidence of birth asphyxia was 10.78% in rural as compared to 04% in urban group.
