Definition
HCNONGOVFAR indicates whether the lack of a nearby government facility explains why the household generally goes elsewhere to treat sickness.
The information in HCNONGOVFAR is taken from the household record and applies to regular household residents, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
