Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

I believe you are misinterpreting the code for "Not Applicable" or "NA". 198 women did not have a child in the past two years. The question about whether the birth was in a health facility would be irrelevant for them. Only the 262 women who actually had a birth in the past two years were asked the question.
