Geo-spatial mapping of health services in slums

Yes, there is a need for such tools and I am willing to collaborate on developing the tools needed in your case.

We are currently developing methods mainly for healthcare access but, I have been thinking of food accessibility too as a future project, given that eating unhealthy food has health implications (e.g. obesity etc).

Let’s talk more on this (email is g dot yeboah at warwick dot ac dot uk)?

Best wishes, Godwin.

Thanks for the good luck wish on our project, Heather!

Yes, I have seen it and actually used data from there for a recent analysis (see:”Exploring Volunteered Geographic Information to Support Urban Development in the global South: Investigating the usability of OpenStreetMap Data to analyse Healthcare Access” - https://www122.lamp.le.ac.uk/download/GISRUK2018_Contribution_111.pdf).

Are you part of the healthsites.io team?

Regards, Godwin.
