Hi Hannah,
It obviously has some potential issues and involves various assumptions, but perhaps you could approximate these missing facilities by geospatially linking/matching facilities from Malawi's health facility registry databases (MOH: http://zipatala.health.gov.mw/facilities and GitHub: https://github.com/BaobabHealthTrust/master-facility-list) to those in the SPA. As applicable, you could subset to facilities built before ~2013/2014 (they presumably would be in the frame) and test if omitting ones listed as non-functional spatially link to any of the included SPA facilities.
A colleagues has been developing code for such geospatial matching based on proximity of GPS coordinates (=< 0.01 km); we're more than happy to share if that's potentially helpful!
All the best,
Nancy
