No of hospitals in each level at the time of survey and after hypothetical targeted resource allocation. The hypothetical targeted resource allocation included the following two conditions: All hospitals were modelled to provide CBE. Under this assumption all hospitals are at least level 6. Hospitals that were missing only a single service in order to increase their level within the stratification system were modelled as if they provided that service.

CBE, clinical breast examination; CHAG, Christian Health Association of Ghana, hospital with no special designation (general), quasi-government (quasi-govt); govt, government.
