Description
The 2007 Uganda Service Provision Assessment (USPA) survey collected data from a representative sample of 491 health facilities throughout Uganda. The survey covered all levels of facilities, from HC-IIs to hospitals, and sampled facilities operated by different managing authorities, including government, private-for-profit, parastatal, and faith-based organisations. Survey personnel collected information using facility audit questionnaires, interviews with health service providers, observations of client-provider consultations, and exit interviews with clients, not only to assess the capacity of facilities to provide quality services, but also to assess the existence of functioning systems to support these services.
