Indicators and related performance of management of common childhood diseases (MCCD)

	Process indicators (based on direct observation)	Number (%) of all facilities with observed process	Input Indicators	Number (%) of all facilities with observed input	Overall facility performance Number (%) *
1.	Provider asks for at least two general danger signs†	191 (38.6)	N/A	N/A	191 (38.6)
2.	Provider asks for presence of fever	465 (94.1)	N/A	N/A	465 (94.1)
3.	Provider asks for presence of cough	412 (83.4)	N/A	N/A	412 (83.4)
4.	Provider asks for presence of diarrhoea	370 (74.9)	N/A	N/A	370 (74.9)
5.	Provider asks for presence of ear problems	128 (25.9)	N/A	N/A	128 (25.9)
6.	Provider checks child’s weight	366 (74.1)	Functional scale available	448 (90.7)	333 (67.4)
7.	Provider checks child’s temperature	477 (96.5)	Functional thermometer available	480 (97.1)	463 (93.7)
8.	Provider checks for signs of anaemia (conjunctivae, palms)	381 (77.1)	N/A	N/A	381 (77.1)
9.	Provider checks child’s current vaccination status	207 (41.9)	N/A	N/A	207 (41.9)

*In instances where both process and input indicators were applicable, overall facility performance was only counted once both indicators were performed.

†Per IMCI standard: four general danger signs need to be assessed (difficulties breast feeding/taking any food, considerable vomiting, lethargy, convulsions). Due to the generally low performance of this indicator if measured against this standard, we considered this process to be performed when at least two danger signs were reviewed.
