Section 2 - Housing facilities

H15 - H17 Distance from home to the nearest facility

H15 -- Health facility
180. Ask: "What is the distance from your house to the nearest health facility?" A health facility in this case is a 'Modern Facility' like a clinic, a health centre, a dispensary, a hospital, etc., and not an alpha-man [marabou spiritual advisor], or herbalist, or spiritualist, or drug peddler, etc. You may have to ask for the location of the facility in certain cases in order to visualize the distance and get as accurate an answer as possible. Record the appropriate code provided in the column H15.
