Description
HCINSOTHPRIV indicates whether other privately-purchased commercial health insurance covered the cost of the woman's services during her most recent visit to a local health facility for herself or her child.
This question is included as part of the Primary Health Care module, which is included in certain female questionnaires. These questions pertain to the woman's attitudes towards and utilization of health care services.
Comparability
In the Ghana 2016 Round 5 sample, this variable has a universe of "women aged 15-49 who have visited a health facility for herself or her child in the past 6 months and whose services were covered by insurance", but it is clear from other questions in the survey that some women also responded that they had visited a facility within the last 6 months for people other than herself or her child.
