| *From situation analysis data. †From 1998 Istanbul Family Planning Quality Survey (see reference 27). ‡From mail survey. Notes: u=unavailable, because the 1994 situation analysis did not include the Adana MCH/FP or the Zubeyde Hanim Maternity Hospital. Also, because Zubeyde Hanim dropped out of the intervention, 1998-1999 data are unavailable. | ||
