Assess how physically accessible existing health services are to the target population - Physical accessibility analysis
Estimate the share of the target population that would have physical access to existing facilities but could not receive care due to shortages of human or equipment capacity - Geographic coverage analysis
Measure travel time and distances between health facilities to estimate for example the time required for referral to a higher level facility or to deliver supplies from a supply store to a facility - Referral analysis
Identify physical accessibility coverage1at the sub-national and this for different travel time specified by the user - Zonal statistics
Design and simulate different scenarios aiming at scaling up the existing service delivery network in order to increase population coverage - Scaling up analysis
