What is a Health Map?

​A health map serves as a visualization tool on how the health resources of a locality are distributed across the area. It could reveal disparities in healthcare access and resources  allocation. Thus, it can be used by  policy makers for strategic  distribution of health resources.

The interactive map on the left shows the health resources (hospital, clinic, pharmacy, food source, and gym) in Iloilo City as of 2020. The data was obtained from the official website of the local government unit of Iloilo City.
