Description
HYSTOPPLACE reports the type of medical facility where the respondent had a hysterectomy performed.
The harmonized coding categories in the IPUMS-DHS variable HYSTOPPLACE were constructed to reflect the major and minor categories in the original DHS variable. The major categories are:
- 100: Public sector facilities
- 200: Private medical sector facilities
- 300: Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)
The second and third digits of HYSTOPPLACE's codes distinguish between specific locations and provide additional detail, if available.
