A response from senior research analyst, Lindsay Mallick:
Quote:

Dear user,

In the footnote of table 9.7, we see that "If the respondent mentioned more than one person attending during delivery, only the most qualified person is considered in this tabulation." So while your code accurately produces the percentage of births delivered by a nurse, some of those births were also delivered by a doctor.
You can add the line:
replace nurse = 0 if m3a==1
Then you will see that 778 cases reported also being delivered by a doctor and the percentage then becomes 5.2%, matching the final report.

The DHS Program has recently released a blog and a series of youtube videos on matching to the final report. You can find these here:

Thanks,

Lindsay
