The Kenya report states that 88.1% of the women who gave birth in 2 years before the survey delivered in a health facility, however this is only based on the 262 women of the total of 460 women who provided data but there are 198 women (of the 460) who didn't provide an answer (198 missing values for this question). How can you then confidently conclude 88% delivered in a health facility if 43% of your sample didn't provide an answer??
