Pregnant women between 12-20 weeks of pregnancy will be recruited and assigned into intervention arm (n=600) and control arm (n=600). The intervention package will comprise of two components, (1) utilization of CoC card and (2) health education on CoC in maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH), NCD and nutrition. The CoC card will include CoC services from first antenatal care(ANC) to last postnatal care(PNC) including four ANC, skilled birth attendance (SBA) and four PNC and essential services. Pregnant women will get stickers if they receive above services. Health education will be given three times during pregnancy and one time during postpartum period.
