Description
For women who gave birth in the previous three to five years, ANCAREPL_ALL indicates where the woman last received antenatal care.
ANCAREPL_ALL consists of separate variables, covering the most recent birth (ANCAREPL_01) and, in some cases, additional births, up to, potentially, the sixth-most-recent birth (i.e., ANCAREPL_02, ANCAREPL_03, ANCAREPL_04, ANCAREPL_05, and ANCAREPL_06).
