Add a Facility Type

The facility type is used to identify the type of health facility. Examples of facility types include Hospital, Clinic and Dispensary.

1. From the home page or left menu, click Administer Database.

2. Under the "Institution Lists" section, select Facility Type.

3. Either select Add New Facility Type or select an existing facility type to edit.

4. Enter the Name of the facility type.

5. Click Confirm and confirm that the facility type entered is correct. If it is not correct, click Edit to change it. If it is, click Save to save it.

Troubleshooting

An error message appears when Confirm is clicked.

Make certain that the facility type has not already been entered. Change the name and try saving again. If you do not want to add the facility type after all, click Return (do not save changes).
