  1. *Among facilities that reported routinely storing contraceptives.
  2. **Stock-out of contraceptives in the three months prior to the day of the survey. These questions were only asked at ambulatory EONC facilities with availability of male condoms, oral contraceptives, and injectable contraceptives on the day of the survey and basic and complete EONC facilities with availability of male condoms, oral contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, and IUD on the day of the survey. Stock-outs not captured for IUD.
  3. ***Stock-outs not captured in El Salvador.
  4. ****Due to missing data points, 75 facilities asked about previous months’ stock of injectables instead of 79 facilities.
