Notes: The models with waiting time dummy as dependent variable are estimated using a logit specification, the ones with waiting time in minutes as dependent variable are estimated using a negative binomial specification. The coefficients of the logit model are to be interpreted as marginal effects. Control variables include level of schooling, net household income, place of residence (rural or urban), type of minor illness, and religion. Robust standard errors in parentheses;
*** p<0.01,
** p<0.05,
* p<0.1
