description Introduction: Janani Sishu Suraksha Karyakram (JSSK) is a flagship program of India to reduce out of pocket expenditure (OOPE) of the families during childbirth and neonatal sicknesses. Objectives: To assess the utilization of JSSK while availing services for childbirth and newborn care in a secondary care hospital in Southern India; estimate the OOPE in services covered by JSSK and identify the associated factors with OOPE. Methods: 228 mothers who delivered in the previous 2 days, were recruited from a secondary-level government hospital in Chittoor. Expenditure incurred under various components of JSSK was asked during the recruitment and subsequently through telephonic interviews. Results: All components of JJSK, except transport, were fully utilized by the families. 138 mothers (60.5%, 95% CI: 54.0, 67.0), and all sick children (n = 138, 100%) who visited government hospital, incurred OOPE in the form of transport cost. The median expenditure of transport (from home to hospital and hospital to home) of the mothers was 250 INR (IQR: 100-513 INR). Transport expenditure was greater for the rural families (300 INR) than the urban families (100 INR) (p < 0.05). In multiple logistic regression, nuclear families were associated with high OOPE (AOR- 2.0, 95% CI: 1.1- 3.7). Though education of the mother showed high association (AOR- 2.7, 95% CI: 1.0- 7.8), it was not statistically significant (p = 0.05). Conclusion: The families utilize most of the components of JSSK, except transport. Family-centric counselling of the beneficiaries during antenatal check-ups and home visits by the healthcare workers can reduce transport-related OOPE.
