*Not every country reported on each indicator, and even within countries, not every health facility reported on each indicator.
†The indicator used in Liberia and Uganda did not specify whether the screening and triage area was outdoors.
‡The indicator used was ‘Is there a dedicated trained screener on duty?’.
§The indicator used was availability of 1 month’s supply of screening tools at the healthcare facility for screening all staff, patients and visitors.
