The national average for percentage of this mode of treatment in 102 health facilities was 2.6% (Min 0, Max 40) and this is not very far from the ideal value of zero use.

By level of health facilities, the percentages were 7.1% for hospitals (n=7), 6.1% for health centers (n=18) and 1.3% for health stations (n=77) with significant mean variation (P<0.05). In relative terms, health stations have shown the best compliance followed by health centers.

Across the six regions, it varied (Figure 23) between 0% (Benishangul-Gumuz) to 23.3% (Addis Ababa). The situation in Addis Ababa needs further investigation.
