Interviewer instructions

There are usually different classes or types of wards in a hospital. The type of the ward where the patient was admitted (for the particular hospitalisation case) will be recorded here in codes.
A paying ward with a number of beds will be treated as a paying general ward. A cabin (generally with one or two beds) will be treated as a paying special ward. When a patient is reported to have stayed in more one than type of ward, the code for the type where the patient had stayed for the longest duration will be recorded here.
