Service Delivery Indicators Health Survey 2013 - Harmonized Public Use Data (Nigeria)

Abstract

The Service Delivery Indicators (SDI) are a set of health and education indicators that examine the effort and ability of staff and the availability of key inputs and resources that contribute to a functioning school or health facility. The indicators are standardized, allowing comparison between and within countries over time.

The Health SDIs include healthcare provider effort, knowledge and ability, and the availability of key inputs (for example, basic equipment, medicines and infrastructure, such as toilets and electricity). The indicators provide a snapshot of the health facility and assess the availability of key resources for providing high quality care.

The Nigeria SDI Health survey team visited a sample of 2,385 health facilities across Nigeria between July 2013 and January 2014. The survey team collected rosters covering 21,318 workers for absenteeism and assessed 5,017 health workers for competence using patient case simulations. The data is representative at the state level. The sample included 12 of 36 states in Nigeria due to logistical constraints.
