Service Delivery Indicators Health Survey 2015 - Harmonized Public Use Data (Niger)

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 Niger SDI Health survey team visited a sample of 255 health facilities across Niger between October and November 2015. The survey team collected rosters covering 1,331 workers for absenteeism and assessed 594 health workers for competence using patient case simulations.
