Summary
Country profiles were created for 43 sub-Saharan African countries highlighting travel times to the most accessible health facility from areas with Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) spillover event potential, travel times to the nearest at-risk location for VHFs, and an assessment of how travel times would change given new infrastructure in a country.
This dataset includes the following:
- Four PDF files per country
- Country-specific estimates of the travel times described above
- Maps of the analysis stratified by facility type
- Maps depicting the uncertainty around the modeled VHF spillover event potential estimates using differing thresholds
- Table of travel times to the nearest at-risk location for any VHF from all hospitals in a country, shaded by hours of travel time
- Code files used to generate the estimates
