Data from October 2008 - September 2009. ^1. Patients served derived from caseload log counts from hospitals in Felege Hiwot, Adigrat and Awash. Patients served were estimated for the other facilities in each province based on the ratio of patients served to patient-quarters provided in the hospital in the province for which log data were tabulated.
