The 2015 SARA aimed to generate reliable and regular information on the availability of health services (the availability of infrastructure, essential human resources) and the operational capacity of health facilities to deliver basic family planning interventions, pediatric health services, essential and comprehensive obstetric care, HIV\/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and non-communicable diseases. \n\nThe survey covered 332 health facilities across the country. \n\nThis report covers three categories of indicators:\n\n1. General service availability\n\u2022 Health infrastructure density\n\u2022 Health workforce density\n\u2022 Service utilization\n\n2.

The SARA focuses on three main areas: service availability, general service readiness and service-specific readiness.\n\nA basic approach to SARA is to collect data that are comparable both across countries and within countries (i.e. across regions and\/or districts) using a standard core questionnaire developed by WHO in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Usually, a country adopts the standard core questionnaire with adaptations to certain elements such as types of facilities, managing authority of facilities, national guidelines for services, staffing categories and national policies for medicines (e.g. for tuberculosis, HIV\/AIDS). The SARA survey requires visits to health facilities with data collection based on key informant interviews and observation of key items. The survey can either be carried out as a sample or a census; the choice between these methodologies will depend on a number of elements including the country's resources, the objectives of the survey and the availability of a master facility list (MFL)."},"method":{"data_collection":{"sampling_procedure":"A national sample of 333 facilities was drawn from a sampling frame of 1,571 health facilities in the Health Information System database, representing 20% of the facilities.
