Although geographical factors and access to health facilities in urban area are feasible as compared to rural area the utilization of all three PNC visits remains low. Methods: A qualitative study was done using community- based exploratory design in urban area of Kathmandu district. In-depth interview with clients and key informant interviews with health care providers were done using interview guidelines. Thematic analysis was done. Results: Seven themes emerged through thematic analysis, which were further classified into category and sub categories. Poor recording and reporting system, poor health communication, ANC service prioritized among maternal health services, prerequisites to construction, and PNC services/information dependent on FCHV, less utilization of mass media, and perception of people were identified as barrier for nonutilization of postnatal services. Conclusions: The common reason for non-utilization of postnatal care service is identified as poor health communication and less utilization of mass media that resulted in lack of knowledge on the benefit and timing of postnatal care. Lack of awareness among women on postnatal care services shows lack of effort in making postnatal care related information easily available and accessible. Hence, education and awareness on postnatal care services along with proper therapeutic communication is seen essential to complete the continuum of care in maternal health services.
