AB  - BACKGROUND: The adoption of maternity services and postpartum modern 
      contraception are the two most crucial components that help in reducing maternal 
      and infant mortality; still, India is consistently struggling with it. This 
      paper, therefore, aimed to examine the linkages between use of maternity services 
      and postpartum modern contraceptive adoption. DATA AND METHODS: The required 
      reproductive calendar data were extracted from the 2015-16 and 2019-21 National 
      Family Health Survey (NFHS) datasets. The assessment was made based on a sample 
      of currently married women aged 15-24 years who had given most recent childbirth 
      in five years preceding the survey. For the analysis, a time-to-event approach 
      was applied using the Kaplan-Meier survival statistic, Log-Rank Chi-square test 
      and Cox-Proportional Hazard (Cox-PH) models. RESULTS: The results revealed that 
      the proportion of postpartum modern contraceptive uptake among young users 
      increased by 9%, from 33% in 2015-16 to 42% in 2019-21. The Cox-PH models 
      revealed that, in both NFHS waves, the associations between various components of 
      maternity services and postpartum modern contraceptive uptake were strongly 
      significant, even after controlling for selected socio-economic and demographic 
      correlates. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study reinforced urgent need for 
      implementing integrated maternal-child health and family planning programmes and 
      for boosting effective family planning counselling by health professionals to 
      promote and motivate young women with a desire to early adoption of modern 
      contraception in subsequent months after a recent childbirth.
