Hi!
I am looking at variables from the Inventory questionnaire Malawi SPA 2013. In question 802 c its asked about the working order of different Hb test methods. Have the interviewers actually performed a test to check the working order of the equipment or is it only reported that the equipment is in working order?

Some health facilities have answered in the question 802 b that the equipment is "reported not seen" but then answerd in 802 c that the equipment is in working order. So how can they know its in working order if they have not seen the equipment? So maybe the equipment is only reported to be in working order?

Best regards,

Cecilia
