We are using BDHS 201718 data to create the percentage of women with a postnatal check during the first 2 days after birth from a medically trained provider (given in the report table 9.15). We found a deviant result (36 to 38%) using the stata codes provided on GitHub.
We will be grateful if someone provides a solution in this regard.

For more clarification, we want to see the percentage of women who, after birth, took PNC within 24 hours of birth/release from a healthcare facility by the medically trained provider (mothpnc), categorized as "appropriate use of PNC," "some level of PNC," and "no use of PNC." In this regard, we are using the following stat code, but the result seems confusing.
//Postnatal care
** Here the postnatal care use
/// For mothers
* Mother's ckeckup after delivery
tab m66_1
* Timing of checkup
tab m67_1, nol
recode m67_1 (100/160=0 "Within 24 hours of delivery") (161/998=1 "More than 24 hours of births "), gen (mothpnc_timing)
tab mothpnc_timing
* Providers of PNC
tab m68_1
tab m68_1, nolabel
recode m68_1 (11/19=0 "Skilled healthcare providers") (21/96=1 "Unskilled healthcare providers"), gen(mothpnc_providers)
tab mothpnc_providers
** Mothers appropriate use of PNC
gen mothpnc=.
replace mothpnc=0 if (mothpnc_timing==0 & mothpnc_providers==0)
replace mothpnc=1 if (mothpnc_timing==1 & mothpnc_providers==0)
replace mothpnc=2 if (m66_1==0 | mothpnc_providers==1)
label define mothpnc 0"Appropriate use of PNC" 1"Somelebel of use of PNC" 2"No use of PNC"
label values mothpnc mothpnc
tab mothpnc
Is there anything need to consider more for the correct estimates of mother PNC? I would be grateful if anyone can help on this regard.

Postnatal care, also known as postpartum care, is essential for a mother's physical and emotional well-being after giving birth. Here are some important aspects of postnatal care for a mother:
Rest and Recovery: After childbirth, a mother's body needs time to heal. It is crucial to get enough rest and sleep during this period. A new mother should avoid strenuous activities and take care of herself.
Proper Nutrition: Eating a healthy, balanced diet is essential for a new mother's recovery. She should include foods rich in iron, calcium, and protein in her diet.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, is essential for a new mother's recovery.
Pain Management: Pain management is critical during the postpartum period. Pain medication may be necessary to manage pain after childbirth.
Breastfeeding: If a mother chooses to breastfeed, she should ensure that the baby is latching correctly, and she is producing enough milk. Breastfeeding provides essential nutrients for the baby and helps the uterus to contract, reducing bleeding.
Exercise: Gentle exercises, such as walking, can help a mother regain her strength and energy. However, she should consult her doctor before starting any exercise routine.
Emotional Support: Postpartum depression and anxiety are common among new mothers. Emotional support from family and friends can help a new mother manage the emotional changes she may experience after giving birth.
In summary, postnatal care is critical for a mother's recovery after childbirth. It includes rest, proper nutrition, pain management, breastfeeding, exercise, and emotional support.
