The SARA survey 2016 aimed to assess the availability and operational capacity of health services to provide quality care throughout the national territory. Specifically the survey's objectives were to: assess the availability of health services in the facilities at all levels of care; measure the availability of basic equipment; assess the availability of drugs and other medical products; assess the availability of treatment guidelines and diagnostic tools; and assess the operational capacity of health facilities to provide specific health services such as child health, reproductive health, malaria, tuberculosis and HIV\/AIDS. \n\nThe census covered 288 public and private health facilities across the country. Data was collected from January to February 2016. \n\nThis reports covers the following categories of indicators:\n\n1.General service availability and readiness\n\u2022 Basic amenities and comfort elements\n\u2022 Basic equipment\n\u2022 Standard precautions for infection prevention\n\u2022 Diagnostic capacity\n\u2022 Essential medicines\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":"Sample size for this survey was 288 public and private health facilities represented at national level.
