Abstract
These datasets detail 1) the setup costs expended to set up 10 maternity waiting homes in rural Zambia and 2) the monthly occupancy of the maternity waiting homes. The former includes the date of purchase, cost category, and the purchase amount in Kwacha. The latter describes how many patients visited the maternity waiting home in the last year of our project. We utilized this data to create a manuscript describing the setup costs of these homes, and the cost per admission to the homes, to serve as a guide for future implementors.
