The health of women is inextricably linked to their responsibilities as mothers, partners, and daughters. Women are frequently the primary caregivers for their children’s health and well-being, as well as their children’s primary point of contact with the health-care system. Although women shoulder the majority of family healthcare responsibilities, the impact of these additional responsibilities on their health and well-being is sometimes overlooked. These responsibilities, however, are only a small part of the multiplicity of financial, family, and other obligations that women must juggle in order to satisfy their families’ requirements, and many women do so in the face of adversity, such as their own health difficulties. For many women, managing family health requirements with other responsibilities is a heightened difficulty due to limited financial means, while raising children and working. But to do this, it is essential that women take charge of their health and nutritional needs. Therefore, the women are viewed as an asset to society. Women today participate in the developmental activities of the nation in large numbers. Majority of educated women are not aware of the schemes introduced by the government. Women always place the needs of their family before themselves. Therefore, the present study attempts to examine the Utilization of healthcare services among the rural women in the selected blocks of Cuddalore district, with the help of primary data, which is tested by using Percentage Analysis and Henry Garrett Ranking.
