Variable^ǂ costs for services requiring consumables and/or medications.

<p>^ǂ Variable costs are defined as costs that varied according to the number of patients seen and the type of service provided. Some services, e.g. medical history taking, blood pressure check, and symptom screening for TB and STIs, did not utilize medications or consumables and therefore have $0 variable cost. However, all services require expenditure on fixed costs (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0119236#pone.0119236.t004" target="_blank">Table 4</a>).</p><p>Variable<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0119236#t003fn001" target="_blank">^ǂ</a> costs for services requiring consumables and/or medications.</p
