Poorer women were 1.898 times more likely to use healthcare facilities for delivery than poorest women. Middle women were 2.669 times more likely to use healthcare facilities for delivery than poorest women. Richer women have 3.163 times more opportunities to use healthcare facilities for delivery than poorest women. The richest women were 6.566 times more likely to use healthcare facilities for delivery than the poorest women. Women who live in urban areas were 2.412 times more likely to use healthcare facilities for delivery than those who live in rural areas.
