Interviewer instructions

For this question, it is important to get the last eligible person who needed health care. An eligible person is the respondent itself or one of his/her children aged 12 years or less.

Stop reading further as soon as the respondent has selected one. If an adult went for health care at the same time as for his/her children, focus on the adult's experience. If the adult accompanied more than one child, focus on the YOUNGEST child.]
