Interviewer instructions
A health consultation is one where a person has approached or sought medical advice/attention from any medical officer, spiritual healer or traditional healer (including herbalists) whether at a public or private health institution or merely by calling a medical officer on a private engagement, or by consulting a church pastor. This consultation could even be done outside Zambia. If the person took medicine that was bought without consultation or was available in the home, then that is self-administered medicine and the answer should be NO. If this medicine did not work and consultation was done later, then the answer category should be 'YES'.
