Tanzania - Service Delivery Indicators Health Survey 2016 - Harmonized Public Use Data

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 Tanzania SDI Health survey team visited a sample of 383 health facilities across Tanzania between August and October 2016. The survey team collected rosters covering 5,160 workers for absenteeism and assessed 498 health workers for competence using patient case simulations. The technical report and field manual are unavailable for Tanzania 2016. The questionnaire is the same as Tanzania 2014.
