Values are n (col%) or median (IQR).
¹One primary care facility in Zimbabwe had a static ART clinic but did no ART initiation for children < 10 (numbers of children initiating and followed up not included); 14 primary care facilities provided outreach clinics. 13/14 primary care facilities with outreach initiated adults on ART; 12/14 initiated children. 14/14 followed up adults, 13/14 followed up children.
²Where numbers do not sum to column total this is due to missing data, percentages are presented for non-missing data.
³Numbers on ART for Malawi are for adults and children combined (given in adults’ row). Numbers on ART missing for one primary care facility in Malawi.
⁴Malawian MoH data for quarter July-September 2011 were used for numbers on ART and for numbers initiating ART for 6 Phalombe facilities. Interview data were used for facilities outside Phalombe. Zimbabwean MOH data for July-September 2011 were used for numbers on ART and numbers initiating ART (except for one primary care facility where data used were for March-May 2012). Ugandan MoH data for quarter October-December 2011 were used for numbers on ART and numbers initiating ART (except for 3 primary care sites and 2 secondary care sites where interview data were used for numbers initiating).
