Notes

GENERAL NOTES
----------------------
This variables is a summary of variables indicating the distance to health center and hospital
In case we have different ordinal variables indicating proximity to different health establishments (separately) such to private doctors, hospitals health centers , etc. we take the average.

COUNTRY SPECIFIC NOTES
----------------------------------
Indicates the proximity to health centers and hospitals including doctor, health centre, hospital, and excluding mental health care centre (H206) which was recently added to Palestinians surveys and was not available in 1996 to 1998 surveys data. The expected low availability of this type of facility, if added, can give a misleading indication on the proximity of other health facilities considered to be essential.
