Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCPUBHC_01 (M57F_1) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care at a public health center.
Some samples in the "ANC" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable, such as ANCPUBHC_01, while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of public health centers that could be combined to create a more comprehensive response category. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in this variable.

Comparability
In addition to universe differences, ANCPUBHC_01 (M57F_1) varies slightly in question wording. Most commonly, this response category is organized under the "Public Sector" header and is worded as "government health center." However, some countries diverge from this standard convention, and, in some cases, multiple categories were consolidated in ANCPUBHC_01 to form a single, more comprehensive response. Countries of particular interest are noted below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
ANCPUBHC_01 (M57F_1) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase V. This response category is removed from the standard DHS questionnaire in Phase VI, but it is still included in a number of Phase VI samples.
Comparability — Comoros [top]
In the 2012 Comoros survey, under the "Public Sector" header, there are three separate categories for "medical-surgical center," "urban medical center," and "community health center." Because ANCPUBHC_01 focuses on all public health centers, these three responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific categories:
Comparability — Egypt [top]
In the 2005, 2008, and 2014 Egypt surveys, under the "Public Sector" header, there are two separate categories for "urban health unit" and "rural health unit." Because ANCPUBHC_01 focuses on all public health centers, these two responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific categories:
Comparability — India [top]
In the 2019 India survey, under the "Public Sector" header, there are four separate categories for "urban health center," "primary health center," "sub-center," and "village clinic by ANM." Because ANCPUBHC_01 focuses on all public health centers, these four responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific categories:
Comparability — Liberia [top]
In the 2007 and 2013 Liberia surveys, under the "Public Sector" header, there are two separate categories for "government health center" and "government health clinic." Because ANCPUBHC_01 focuses on all public health centers, these two responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific categories:
Comparability — Mali [top]
In the 2012 and 2018 Mali survey, under the "Public Sector" header, there are two separate categories for "reference health center" and "community health center." Because ANCPUBHC_01 focuses on all public health centers, these two responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific categories:
Comparability — Nepal [top]
In the 2006, 2011, and 2016 Nepal surveys, under the "Public Sector" header, this response category is worded as "PHC [primary health care] outreach clinic."
Comparability — Pakistan [top]
In the 2006, 2012, and 2017 Pakistan surveys, under the "Public Sector" header, there are two separate categories for "rural health center/mother and child health center" and "basic health unit/family welfare center." Because ANCPUBHC_01 focuses on all public health centers, these two responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific categories:
Comparability — Senegal [top]
In the 2010, 2012, 2014, 2015, and 2015 Senegal surveys, under the "Public Sector" header, this response category is worded as "government health center/maternity."
Comparability — South Africa [top]
