Dear All,
I am trying to calculate maternal mortality ratio for Ghana using the Ghana Maternal Health Survey (MHS) 2017 data. I read in the report that the MHS is the same as the Ghana DHS Special, however, I cannot run the the do-file provided in chapter 16 in the github page as the variables in MHS are coded differently, also, some of the variables in the DHS are not in the MHS. Can I get the do-file used in calculating maternal mortality using the MHS 2017?
Thank You.

Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
The variables you are looking for actually are in GHIQ7JFL.dta or can be constructed. The cluster ID, which is normally v001 v021 (they are duplicates) is qhclust. Normally v022 and v023 (they are duplicates) are the stratum ID code. I don't see it explicitly but you can construct it as combinations of region and type of place of residence with "egen stratum=group(qtype qregion)". The sample weight is normally v005 but here it is qweight (probably you had already seen it). So you do have everything you need for the svyset command.
