For example, accessibility impacts may differ across population groups with diverging activity patterns and transport mode availability [53], and network investments may be necessary to improve access to specific activity places (such as hospitals or schools) or to support large recurrent transport flows (for example for tourism or international commuting).
Access can further be increased by more pragmatic measures that were proposed during several of the interviews by community members and health workers, such as arranging support for the recurrent transport to and from the health facilities.
Costs were classified as recurrent (personnel, supplies, transport, building maintenance) or capital (training, start-up costs, buildings, vehicles) and by category of programme input.
Capital costs, such as building and equipments; recurrent cost, like food, transport, medical supplies etc were not applied in a systematic manner.
The virus may reactivate from time to time and infectious virus enters peripheral tissues by axonal transport causing recurrent disease or subclinical virus shedding [ 34].
The study protocol was thus amended to allow the collection of information about the socioeconomic and demographic particulars of the transporters, ownership and use of the transport vehicles, and recurrent and fixed costs of maintaining the vehicles.
Transport was a recurrent issue.
A few recurrent expenditures, such as maintenance, transport and mortuary costs were negligible and were also not included in the calculation.
We included staff, food, materials and supplies, and transport operational costs as recurrent costs (Table 1).
An ingredients approach, whereby quantities of each of the inputs are first identified and then prices are attached, was employed to estimate the majority of recurrent costs (salaries, allowances, supplies and transport) (Drummond et al. 2005).
The statistical techniques identified three recurrent sources, associated with vehicular traffic and particulate transport, covering over 90% of variance.
