Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from a convenient sample of 191 primary healthcare (PHC) service providers and a purposive sample of 13 primary healthcare system administrators and managers at both State and Local government levels through a WHO/WFMH 10-factor questionnaire and literature-derived guide for in-depth interviews (IDIs).
