The number and percentage of HWs confirming their satisfaction is presented in the "Frequency" column (N = 78). The odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) are calculated for the HWs employed at a public/government HF at the time of the interview. HWs at a private HF serve as the reference group. Data are combined for the two target districts
