Background InformationSurgeon Mapping
We are trying to answer the question: What percentage of the population has access to safe surgery and anesthesia, when
needed?● There are multiple assumptions that are being used in order to answer this question in a
meaningful way● Given realities of data availability, the plan is to initially focus on surgeon-provider locations
and count populations that live within two-hours of road access● We are using the NASA/Columbia University SEDAC Population Estimation Tool to calculate
populations and Google Maps to identify 2-hour driving ranges
