Organisation and management of health services in partner countries during the study period was centred on the district level. Level 1 and 2 facilities included community health posts and dispensaries. Level 3 facilities were health centres at the sub-district level (providing primarily health promotion and prevention services). Level 4 facilities referred to district and sub-district hospitals providing curative services. Level 5 facilities were referral hospitals at the provincial or national level. This study involved health facilities at levels 3–5
instit. institutions, part. participants
^aThe same institutions for all countries were sampled at baseline and follow-up when possible. Most institutions have data at both baseline and follow-up; however, some institutions only have data at either baseline or follow-up
^bIncreases in number from pre to post were due to increased availability of institutions at post-data collection, which were unavailable during pre-data collection
^cDecreases in numbers from pre to post were due to institutional losses
^dSouth Africa had no control districts
