The government wants a new, centrally managed authority to allocate water.
That's because my ability to manage authority and boredom was sub par, by which I mean virtually non-existant.
Managing authority and number of years in operation were not associated with readiness.
We further compared distributions of the ratios by managing authority (public vs. non-public) and facility level (primary, health center, and hospitals), using T-test.
By managing authority, in all countries except Uganda, there were no statistically significant differences in reference current availability (Table 5) or relative differences in current availability among the 32 medicines (Table 6).
Finally, in comparison of results by managing authority and facility level, the small number of medicines could have contributed to lack of statistical power in spite of relatively large differences between sub-groups in some cases.
Areas of inquiry included the number of: 1) health facilities in the study area by type and managing authority, and 2) core medical professionals [medical doctors (MDs), assistant medical officers (AMOs), clinical officers (COs) and nurses] employed in these facilities.
Estimates of the availability of medicines for hypertension and diabetes were compared for medicines availability overall, by managing authority (government, mission/faith-based, private-for-profit), by facility level (hospital, health centre, dispensary) and by setting (urban, rural).
The report listed the name and address of the family planning facilities supported by each organization and provided information on the variables available from the 2013 survey: type of facility, managing authority, number of trained staff, and volume of each method in stock.
In addition to 4 aforementioned independent variables (type of facility, managing authority, number of years in operation, and number of days per week in operation), we also included type of support for each facility and the 3 variables that make up the readiness rating (number of methods, number of trained staff, and having an information system) in the model.
