Summary 

This survey collected data from households, facilities, and patients to characterize the health situation at the national, regional, subregional, and department levels. The household sample was 41,543 units (164,474 individuals), 6,210 of which were drawn from the Profamilia sample used in the 2005 DHS. Data were gathered on individuals between the ages of 0-17. A subsample of adults 18-49 answered special modules and a subsample of these received an examination that measured blood glucose, lipid profiles, blood pressure, height and weight. The provider sample was 1,170 (608 private and mixed and 562 public) and included a subsample of outpatient facilities, clinics, and midwives. 123,917 patients at outpatient, emergency, and hospital facilities were also interviewed.
