| metric | string | What is being measured -- 'count' (absolute number of cases/deaths/procedures) or 'pct' (share of total cases/procedures as a percentage 0-100). Topics facility_deaths, morbidity_all_health_centers, morbidity_all_hospitals, and radiology are count-only. Topics morbidity_u5_health_centers, cause_of_death, and surgery include both 'count' and 'pct' rows. | - |
| value | float64 | Numeric value. Counts are absolute headcounts; pct is 0-100 scale. | mixed (see metric column) |
| unit | string | Unit of measure -- 'count' for absolute headcounts or 'pct' for percentage share on a 0-100 scale. Always matches the metric column ('count' metric -> 'count' unit; 'pct' metric -> 'pct' unit). | - |
