Question pretext
Patient data (NGO and private for-profit facilities ONLY )
Collect information on the type of patient for the three last months in the 1999/2000 fiscal year.
Note that the data should be taken from the daily patient registrer.
Be careful to collect information for the identified three months and make sure it is for 1999/2000 fiscal year.
Note that deliveries are sometimes recorded in a separate register.
If re-attendance numbers are not listed, ask the in-charge for the percent (on average) of patients that are re-attendance, so you can derive re-attendance numbers later.
List the ailments/treatment that are "free-of-charge" and enter the number of patients with these ailments.
Enter the number of deliveries in each month, and, if applicable, the number of in-patients days.
Use 'NA' if there is no daily patient register available, or if it is not possible to calculate the breakdown.
Check that the figure for total OPD is equal to the sum of "new" and "re-attendance" as well as the sum of "under-fives" and "over-fives" from Table 2. Note also that the number of patients with the six different ailments should be smaller than total OPD.
There should be NO EMPTY CELLS.
In case data for months other than those stated in this table have been entered, these months must be entered in parentheses in the same cell as the number, e.g. "254 (Dec, 1999)".
