*Total number of births as shown in Figure 2: N = 1177; of these, number that occurred in a health facility with a skilled attendant present (linked for effective coverage): n = 643 (55%).

†Direct individual-linking between named facility of birth or home birth (Table 1, household) and readiness status in that exact facility (Table 2, facility).

‡Applying distribution of facility or home births (Table 1, household) to facility readiness for all facilities in the district combined (Table 2, facility).

§Applying distribution of facility level of birth or home births (Table 1, household) to facility readiness by level of facility (Table 2, facility).
