The NHFS also obtained information on how facilities were using the statistics that were being
collected. Six in 10 facilities had a monthly monitoring sheet for the preceding three months fully updated.
HPs and PHCCs (61 percent and 65 percent, respectively) were most likely and zonal and above hospitals
least likely (14 percent) to have a fully updated monthly monitoring sheet for the preceding three months
Public facilities are required to display updated key statistics for the public to see. The NHFS
findings show that only 27 percent of public facilities had such statistics displayed. PHCCs (46 percent) were
more likely to display key statistics than other public facilities.
