We noticed that the published value for careseeking for pneumonia in Mali 2012 is 31.2%, including "pharmacy" as a "health facility". This is not standard, and I wonder whether this was a country decision, or a mistake.

Following is a response from the Mali country manager, Soumaila Mariko:

This was not an error. The title of the column says "Care seeking from a health facility or a health provider". In addition, the inclusion of the "Pharmacy" is the country's decision, since, sometimes pharmacists in the country provide care and/or advice.
