Data Analysis The analysis of the results of fieldwork is iterative and manual which involve accumulation ofthe information and data from various sources as well as the cross referencing of the sourceagainst other for identifying the explanations, differences and similarities for all these. The availability of continuous part in the major topics as well as the emerging questioningpermitted to make few fundamental quantifying of the facilitated solutions. The process ofentering data, analysis of the data was carried out using Microsoft Excel along with therepresentation of charts and graphs. The results were created in the calculated form byundertaking the frequencies with which the whole groups and not individuals gave particularfeedback. The diagrammatic representation used in this research study should therefore beconsidered as a secondary solution: a highlight of the frequency with which specific solutions arefacilitated. These shares were represented in the form of percentages of the total available groupsin this segment. For example around 4/5th segment of the population in Libya were having nohealth services for the maternal section of the population. The analysis of adults as well as thechildren were carried out individual. This was because of the reason that the discussion matterskept for children were simplistic in nature as well as they were less complex in nature. The two
