Dear ashraf,

Please compare the footnotes from the table to the question numbers in the questionnaire and the way the variables are coded in the dataset. In some cases, there may be country-specific questions that have different numbers, or may be q501_01 vs q501_1. One cannot simply copy the same code from one country to another. In the case of sterilization equipment and high level disinfection equipment, please correct your code using the footnotes, the questionnaire, and the dataset. If you do this, you should get the same numbers as the final report.

For the xray machine, in Afghanistan, this is limited to 1) facilities which use xray for tb diagnosis AND 2) facilities which provide laboratory services AND 3) have a functional digital xray machine OR a functional xray machine with unexpired film.

Best of luck,
Sara
