COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Indicates the proximity to health centers and hospitals including doctor, health center, hospital, and excluding mental health care center (H206-in original survey data) which was recently added to Palestinians surveys and was not available in 1996 to 1998 surveys data. The expected low availability of this type of facility, if added, can give a misleading indication on the proximity of other health facilities considered to be essential.
