Following is a response from DHS SPA Specialist, Rajendra Dangol:

1. ***Appropriate storage of healthcare waste
if MEDSTORE then cntit=cntit+1; row305=6; xtab(t3051,rwt); xtab(t3052,rwt); endif;
Please look for variable MEDSTORE, also sending frequency below.
/index.php?t=getfile&id=2344&private=0

2. ***Equipment for high level disinfection (HLD)
Please look for variable HLDEQUIP, also sending frequency below. FYI, it was not present in final report.
Item HLDEQUIP: Facility has good high level disinfection (HLD) equipment
Value Set HLDEQUIP_VS1: Facility has good high level disinfection (HLD) equipment

3. Regarding query "Furthermore, I am curious to know if the variable "safe final disposal of health care waste" in the Nepal dataset is analogous to the variable "safe final disposal of infectious waste" used in surveys from other countries." I think they are not exactly the same but I am not sure about this. You may need to ask one of the SPA country managers to confirm this. In Nepal we have used it a bit differently as the country-specific definition which is given below:

**Safe final disposal of healthcare waste
MEDWASTEcs = (Q601 in 5,7,9,10,11,13,14,15,16,18,20) or
(Q601=1 & Q600 in 5,7,9,10,11,13,14,15,16,18,20);
if MEDWASTEcs then cntit=cntit+1; row305=4; xtab(t3051,rwt); xtab(t3052,rwt); endif;
(Note: This is country-specific in Nepal SPA, we have defined this variable a bit differently for the final report)

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,
Rajendra
