Fig 3.
Differences in overall management of primary care facilities in Ghana by facility type and region (n = 142).
Box plots show the median line by facility types: Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) (mean = 0·67), health centers and clinics (0·74), and hospitals and polyclinics (0·81). Numbers beside each region name (in parentheses) refer to the number of sampled facilities per region. CHPS facilities in Greater Accra were not represented in the sample. The outer box plot edges span the 25th to 75th percentile, and whiskers represent the 95th percentiles. The lines in the y-axes represent the 10th and 90th percentiles of management scores (blue) and the mean of overall management score (red) for each type of facility.
