Change in relative inequalities in the prevalence of antenatal and postnatal care components stratified by socioeconomic and geographic predictors, 2015–16 (N = 161,225) vs. 2019–21 (N = 150,611). * The operationalization of four postnatal care components (timing of first check for mother and newborn, provider for mother and newborn) was done differently in NHFS-4 in 2015–16 and NFHS-5 in 2019–21 because a different set of variables was given in each data and thus these components lack comparability between the two time periods.
