Following is a response from Senior Data Processing Specialist, Fidele Mutima:

Table 9.5:
Variables used to run table 9.5 are: M15 (Place of delivery) Values 10 to 19 for home; 20 to 29 for public sector; 30 to 39 for private sector; 40 to 41 for NGO; 46 for birthing hut; and 96 to 99 (missing) for other/missing. The total N is 4904; you probably might not have considered the missing.

Table 9.8:
As stated in the footnote, Medically trained provider includes doctor, nurse, midwife, paramedic , FWV (Family welfare visitor) and CSBA (Community health care provider).Variables used to run table 9.8 are: M3A = 1 for doctor; M3B = 1 for nurse/midwife/paramedic; M3C = 1 for FWV; M3D = 1 for CSBA; M3F = 1 for CHCP; S433G = 1 or S433H = 1 for HA/FWA; S433I = 1 for NGO worker; M3G = 1 for trained TBA; M3H = 1 for untrained TBA; M3I = 1 for unqualified doctor; M3L = 1 or M3K = 1 or M3M = 1 for relatives/ friends and others; M3N = 1 for no one; and all the rest are included in missing.

Variable related to Birthing Hut:
For "Place of Delivery", "Delivery Hut" was coded 36 in variable Q434 in the raw data. In the recode data, "Delivery Hut" was included in code 46 in variable M15 ("Other NGO sector").

Thank you again for using the DHS data and I hope that these responses will clarify differences you had when running tables.
