Definition
For women who gave birth in the last 5 years and who received antenatal care during their most recent pregnancy, ANCNP4_01 indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, they reported receiving care at a private hospital or nursing home. This response category is country-specific to Nepal.
Some samples in the "ANC" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
ANCNP4_01 is combined with ANCNP5_01 (private clinic) in ANCPRIVHOS_01 (all private hospitals and clinics) for the 2016 Nepal sample. IPUMS-DHS users interested in using ANCNP4_01 are encouraged to review ANCPRIVHOS_01 for a more comprehensive response category.
