Objective: To analysis the needs of reproductive tract infections (RTIs) services, and the utilization and provision of services of the common RTIs in poor rural women. Method: The child bearing age woman, service providers and institutions were investigated. Questionnaire survey, physical examination, in depth interview and focus group discussion were used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Results: Inadequate resources and a very low utilization of the existing services exist simultaneously at township hospitals and family planning service stations, equipment and staff are deficient at village clinics, and lack of necessary diagnostic equipment at private clinics. The women didn't utilize RTIs services adequately, although there was a high reporting percentage on symptoms of RTIs. And poverty, lack of knowledge on RTIs, traditional beliefs and perceived poor quality of care obstructed the women's utilization to diagnosis and treatment services. Conclusion: Health policy should be considered to improve the accessibility of women to RTIs services. Professional training on RTIs Knowledge for grassroots health workers should be strengthened. Health education to poor rural women on RTIs should be enhanced.
