Context

In order to begin correlating global data based around infection rates, from the WHO data in the UNCOVER: Covid-19 challenge, found here, to quality of healthcare in a region, data relaying the availability of health care in nations around the globe is necessary as a first step to this analysis. Out of a general desire to provide this data to the data science community, and out of a desire to find ways to learn about, prepare for in whatever way possible, and beat, the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, I'm making this data-set public for others to use, share, and study with.

Content

The data presented in the file below cover the following information... 1 set of Strings --> The country names 1 set of Integers --> The years in which the data were recorded (2010-2014). 6 sets of floats --> 6 columns of floats record the total density of health centers and hospitals (including provincial and specialized) to every 100,000 people within the country... thus generalizing the country's access to health care, and maintenance/creation of the health infrastructure needed to support the population.

Inspiration

It is sadly true that this data on its own is unlikely to present any major answers. When combined with other datasets however, this may yield answers as to what factors of a countries existence may indicate its ability to maintain a large health infrastructure. In fact, determining how a country's finances, natural resource list (as just ideas), etc. relate to a country's ability to sustain a decent health infrastructure would be an extremely interesting question to answer. I hope you may find the data helpful in your endeavors!
