MCH/FP MISDATABASE PREPARATIONPresentation #3:The Health Centre Database

Structure of MCH/FP MISdata code, reading from left to right.

HEALTH CENTRE DATABASE

Health Centre Database

Names obtained from earlier mission work are written in all lower case text.

There are still some locations unaccounted for

Non-conforming codes with a decimal point, the six digits to the left of the decimal point are presumed correct, and the two digits to the right are assigned randomly; this strategy is employed so that PRS data can be assigned at the district level, to make meaningful maps, as additional information from the field is awaited.

Entries with a space separating the six digits on the left from the two digits on the right have no random entries but do have some questions remaining as to location or coding of the last 2 digits. One issue involves that of redundant labels.

Data codes and locations for health centres in Al Quneitera are entered in districts: 011401, Khan Arnabeh; 011402, Damascus; 011403, Al Hajer Al Aswad; 011404, Dara.

Map Series from district database

Maps from the health centre database also appear in the Power Point display involving geocoding; in those maps, in contrast to these, labels for centres are shown within the boundaries that contain them.
