Universes for public hospitals, community health centres, and primary health centres are from comprehensive lists obtained from the Indian Government Health Management Information System. Universes for medical colleges are from lists published by the Medical Council of India. Because no comprehensive lists exist for private health facilities and certain public health facilities (see other public urban facility), the study team did a listing exercise in a random sample area in each of the six states to identify facilities of these types that at least had a minor operating theatre and provided reproductive health services. The ratio of facility to population of women aged 15–49 years (specific to each type of such facilities within four categories of town or city sizes and rural areas) was used to scale up from the number listed to estimate the total number of each category of facilities in the six states and, from these, to major regions and summed to provide a national estimate.
