Abstract

Guaranteeing adequate health services to the population is a challenge, especially in developing countries where limited resources must be optimized in order to reach a larger percentage of the population. To properly assess health services and prioritize new investments, it is important to collect, integrate, and analyze a large amount of relevant data. The paper presents a prototype for data visualization, along with challenges related to meaningful presentations of results.
