Technology-driven health care is evolving as the preferred choice of healthcare model in recent years in every country (Bagayoko CO et al. 2011). Mother and Child Tracking System (MCTS) is an information system for tracking maternal and child health beneficiaries in India’s public health system and improving service delivery planning and outcomes. Using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to make secondary and tertiary medical expertise available in suburban and rural India was thought of as early as 1997 (Ganapathy et al. 2009; Agarwal D et al. 2020). In this system, mother and child receive necessary health care during the phases of ante-natal, intra- natal and post-natal care, besides encouraging institutional deliveries.
The present study focuses on maternal and child health care services, institutional arrangements, registrations under MCTS, utilization and changes in reproductive health care and safe birthing practices among the Savaras of Seethampeta Mandal of Andhra Pradesh. The study is based on fieldwork on two e- sub-centres in the Seethampeta ITDA in the Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh for about four months, from December 2019 to March 2020. The study adopted mixed methods to collect the data and used anthropological research methods such as participant observation, case studies, schedules, structured interviews, and purposive and random sampling. The study highlights the decline in morbidity and mortality rates and the improvement in the consumption of Iron Folic Acid tablets. The overall well-being of mother and child health is achieved by using technology and considering the socio-cultural context of the community.
