Tribal cultural attributes are attached to the concept of health and diseases. In case of serious illness people tend to attend modern health care facilities, but in many cases accessibility of such facilities does not confirm people's acceptance of modern health care system, otherwise they believe in spirit and other supernatural beings as causes of disease and priority of treatment is inclined mostly towards traditional healers. There has been some concern on the general health and maternal morbidity status of women in India but very little attention has been given to reproductive morbidity of women. Women in India suffer from at least one maternal morbidity health problem largely due to lack of social awareness and decision making power. Therefore most of the time diseases are not diagnosed at the right time which may cause women's health to deteriorate.
