Hi,
Thanks for your suggestions. I have already applied my own commands and matched with BDHS'14 final report for ANC skilled and unskilled providers.
But, when I dropped women of no ANC visit and no child, then if you see the m2a_1 variable with missing, then you will see 2361 missing values. (I have attached the image of my findings, without svy command)
In your commands, you kept these missing values as else, i.e. recode m2a_1 (1=1 "doctor") (0=0 "not doctor") (else=.), gen(doctor)
... There is the (else==.).

But, my question was, why are there missing values? what are they indicating?
