It was found that 70% of women who undergone sterilization in public facility didn\u2019t incur any expenditure, rather received incentives. It is observed that women who had undergone operation in private facility spent\u00a0a large amount than women who had done their operation in public facility. The regret in the private facility mainly results from high\u00a0out of pocket expenditure on sterilization\u00a0procedures. Around eight percent of women regretted getting sterilized in a private hospital and received some compensation amount, vis a vis the six percent who regretted undergoing sterilization in public facility\u00a0and received compensation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The study calls for a need to standardize the cost of sterilization procedure in India's health facilities.
