Interviewer instructions

This question is asked only for children who received care during the last period of illness. The point is to determine whether the child got immediate care or not. This is especially important among children presenting certain danger signs (some of the symptoms listed in question Q6551-Q6558), for whom care should be received within 24 hours.
