  1. N.B For health zones Alunguli, Kindu, Lukonga and Mutoto, data included consultations at private facilities or the times at which salary supplements or free drug provision were introduced were not known. As a result, these zones were not analysed in the study. The remaining 16 health zones had less than 10% of data missing. All health zones in the table above had 12 months data prior to user fee subsidisation. The last seven zones had at least three or more data points prior to the introduction of drugs and salary supplements.
