The data were collected to determine whether patients had access to laboratory testing information including test test prices, turnaround time (TAT) and quality. We targeted patients seeking laboratory tests in two public hospitals in Nairobi. Some of the variables collected include the sociodemographic characteristics, test ordered by the clinician, availability of the test, test price and the TAT. The hospital-based survey was conducted between May and June 2019 using a semi-structured questionnaire developed in REDCap. In the second data set, we used a mystery caller approach to investigate test prices among clinical laboratories in Nairobi.
