Pregnancy related death is a cause for maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity as well as obstacle for economic growth. Three  quarters of mothers’ lives can be saved if women have access to a skilled health worker at delivery and emergency obstetric care. This  evaluation was conducted to assess skill delivery service implementation level by using dimensions (availability, compliance and acceptability) and identify major contributing issues for under utilization of the service. The evaluation design is cross-sectional. 846 mothers  who gave birth in Hadiya zone within one year prior to study period, one year delivery records. Epi Info 3.5.3 and SPSS version 16  were employed for data analysis.
