Here is some basic background information about 2013-14 Malawi SPA that may help addressing your question:

- 2013-14 Malawi SPA was designed to be a census of all formal-sector facilities in Malawi.
- 119 Hospitals were included in the sample frame and all 119 hospitals were selected to be surveyed.
- Out of the 119 hospitals, SPA teams successfully surveyed 116 hospitals; 3 hospitals were not surveyed for different reasons (1 refused to be assessed, 1 closed and 1 was unreachable).
- The objective of the 2013-14 Malawi SPA was to assess the availability and readiness of basic and essential health services, including maternal and newborn care and child health, family planning, reproductive health services, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), as well as services for certain infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS, STIs, malaria, and TB), in Malawian health facilities.
- Emergency service/department was not assessed as stand-alone service/department in 2013-14 Malawi SPA.
- In spite of the fact that 2013-14 Malawi SPA did not assess emergency service/department as stand-alone service/department but still 2013-14 Malawi SPA included some emergency related indicators/questions like 24-Hours staff coverage, emergency transportation etc.
- The basic equipment/supplies items were assessed in the general OPD area or in the service delivery sites (family planning, antenatal care, child health services, delivery and newborn care, etc.) but were not assessed in the emergency department.
