Description

Definition
For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCPK1_01 indicates whether they received care at a public rural health center (RHC) or mother and child health (MCH) center. This response category is country-specific to Pakistan.

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 while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.

ANCPK1_01 is combined with ANCPK2_01 (public basic health unit/family welfare center) in ANCPUBHC_01 (all public health centers) for the 2006, 2012, and 2017 Pakistan surveys. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCPK1_01 are encouraged to review ANCPUBHC_01 for a more comprehensive response category.
