A questionnaire was administered to women registered as giving birth in the Hebron and Nablus areas between March 3 and March 20 of 1987. Fifty-one percent of deliveries were in institutions and 49% were at home. Fifty-two percent of the women had some kind of ante- natal care. There was a significant correlation between fathers' and mothers' education and ante-natal care utilization. Forty-two percent of the mothers got ante-natal care at private clinics and 34% used government MCH centers.

Twenty-four percent of the mothers had health insurance. Nevertheless, 32% of insured mothers opted for home delivery. Mothers who had received ante-natal care were more likely to have had an institutional delivery than those who had not received ante-natal care.
