[Data] Open health facility data in Africa about covid19africa HOT 5 OPEN

@anelda Is the raw data accessible?

from covid19africa.

Hi @esube, we are only working with datasets that are open. If you use R, you can access these datasets via the afrimapr afrihealthsites package (http://afrimapr.org/code) alternatively you can download the shapefile directly from healthsites.io and the KEMRI Excel spreadsheet directly from Figshare - https://figshare.com/articles/Public_health_facilities_in_sub_Saharan_Africa/7725374.

Let me know if you have any questions?

Hi, I am working on a project to map COVID-19 testing facilities. Do you identify those in your dataset?
https://github.com/IneffableKoD/cov19testmap Also, feel free to use my data.

Additionally, dumping two resources:

• https://healthsites.io/
• https://overpass-turbo.eu/

from covid19africa.

Hi @IneffableKoD, the data that is available from KEMRI/WHO was collected and last updated before COVID so that dataset doesn't contain the information. And although healthsites.io is collecting data on an ongoing basis, I would be very surprised if COVID info was already in there. Those are the only two datasets currently available through afrimapr.
