The table reports the mean absence rate for all staff with some medical training by country. Column 1: All staff with medical training (doctors, clinical officers, nurses and community health workers); column 2: doctors and clinical officers; column 3: nurses. All individual country statistics are calculated using country-specific sampling weights. 95% CIs in parentheses and number of observations in parentheses below that. A provider is marked as absent from a facility if, during the second unannounced visit, the provider is not found anywhere on the facility premises. Otherwise, the provider is marked as present.
