RMNCH service availability and readiness

The SDP survey covers public and private facilities, from hospitals to health posts. Because facilities are sampled from the same areas as the households and panel women, and surveyed at the same time, readiness can be related directly to reported service use. Measures include services offered and staff training; availability of guidelines, equipment and diagnostics; stock of contraceptives and essential medicines; and the readiness of schools to deliver adolescent services (school survey).
