It is estimated that 36%% of births in Myanmar deliver in facilities [ 35]; as a substantial proportion of the facility-born neonates are promptly discharged home, education of parents and community-based intervention represents a major undertaking.
The data points are thus the proportion of the facilities and shops, in urban and rural areas respectively, that stocked the medicine on the survey day.
With this, the difference in study designs, the difference in sample sizes and the difference in the proportion of health facility delivery are likely to be the causes for the heterogeneity.
Joint costs (cost items shared by two or more services) were allocated to TB patients based on the proportion of the total health facility visits which they accounted for and the associated health workers time.
Because of the variation in the design, sample size and the proportion of health facility delivery, significant heterogeneity among the studies was observed.
We defined completeness as the proportion of health facility reports submitted to the district divided by the total number expected from the same district while timeliness in reporting was defined as the proportion of reports submitted by the deadline divided by actual reports received [ 9, 10].
These hospitals thus contribute only a small proportion of the available ICU facilities.
