About this data
The time captures the median duration that local experts indicate is necessary to complete a procedure in practice. It is calculated in calendar days. The time estimates of all procedures are added to calculate the total time required to complete each procedure, taking into account simultaneity of processes. It is assumed that the minimum time required for each procedure is one day, except for procedures that can be fully completed online, for which the time required is recorded as half a day.
