Description
For women who gave birth in the last five years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCPUBHOS_01 (M57E_1) indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care at a public hospital.
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 ANCPUBHOS_01, while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of public hospitals 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, ANCPUBHOS_01 (M57E_1) varies slightly in question wording. Most commonly, this response category is organized under the "Public Sector" header and is worded as "government hospital." However, some countries diverge from this standard convention, and, in some cases, multiple categories were consolidated in ANCPUBHOS_01 to form a single, more comprehensive response. Countries of particular interest are noted below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
ANCPUBHOS_01 (M57E_1) is included in the standard DHS questionnaire for Phase V forward.
Comparability — Angola [top]
In the 2015 Angola survey, under the "Public Sector" header, there are three separate categories for "central hospital," "provincial hospital," and "municipal hospital." Because ANCPUBHOS_01 focuses on all public hospitals, these three responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability — Bangladesh [top]
In the 2011 Bangladesh survey, under the "Public Sector" header, there are three separate categories for "medical college hospital," "specialized college hospital," and "district hospital." Because ANCPUBHOS_01 focuses on all public hospitals, these three responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific categories:
- Medical college hospital is listed as ANCBD1_01 in IPUMS-DHS
- Specialized college hospital is listed as ANCBD2_01 in IPUMS-DHS
- District hospital is listed as ANCBD3_01 in IPUMS-DHS
Additionally, in the 2014 Bangladesh survey, there are separate categories for "medical college hospital" and "district hospital." These categories are consolidated in ANCPUBHOS_01 and are preserved in ANCBD1_01 and ANCBD3_01, respectively.
Additionally, in the 2018 Bangladesh survey, there are separate categories for "medical college hospital," "specialized government hospital," and "district hospital." These categories are consolidated in ANCPUBHOS_01 and are preserved in ANCBD1_01, ANCBD15_01, and ANCBD3_01, respectively.
Comparability — Burundi [top]
In the 2016 Burundi survey, under the "Public Sector" header, there are three separate categories for "national reference hospital," "regional reference hospital," and "district hospital." Because ANCPUBHOS_01 focuses on all public hospitals, 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 hospital" and "rural hospital." Because ANCPUBHOS_01 focuses on all public hospitals, these two responses are consolidated in this variable to create a more comprehensive response category.

Comparability — Tanzania [top]
In the 2004 and 2010 Tanzania surveys, under the "Public Sector" header, there are three separate categories for public hospitals: "referral hospital," "district hospital," and "regional hospital."
