Mapping Healthcare Units in India

Hi @srmsoumya,

Great idea and much needed to map the healthcare facilities and get crucial data about care capacity (especially ICU-level care) where this info doesn’t exist or can’t be readily accessed.

Have you looked at: https://healthsites.io/map?country=India

For population distribution and demographic estimates, this may be another good source (it’s CIESIN’s work refined with ML by Facebook): https://registry.opendata.aws/dataforgood-fb-hrsl/

We’re working on exactly this mapping of healthcare facilities and understanding of their capacity to care for COVID19 patients over time in the USA at the moment. While some of the data will be unique to USA, I think much of our thinking and methodology may be relevant to your similar work in India: Mapping US health system capacity (ICU care in particular) for COVID19 surge preparedness
