Accessibility to health facilities (Senegal)

The problem of maternal mortality is a recurring problem in Sub-Saharan Africa and the poorest population and residing away from health centers is the most affected. AccessMod is a computer program designed to help these countries examine the geographical aspect of their health system. And so to map the physical accessibility in terms of travel time to the health center. The accessibility map helps to guide decision-makers by showing them areas of low access, ie places where the population must walk to reach health facilities. Increasing accessibility in these places will at the same time improve maternal health.

Supplemental Information

You can customize the template to suit your needs. You can add

and remove fields and fill out default information (e.g. contact details).

Fields you can not change in the default view may be accessible in the more

comprehensive (and more complex) advanced view. You can even use the XML editor

to create custom structures, but they have to be validated by the system, so

know what you do :-)
