Fig. 2: Variation in access to ART.
From: Extreme geographic misalignment of healthcare resources and HIV treatment deserts in Malawi
Each set of boxplots shows six catchment sizes that are based on varying the maximum one-way travel time (1 h, 2 h or 3 h) and mode of transportation: walking only (W) or using a combination of motorized transportation, bicycling and walking (MBW). The boxes include median values and are bounded at upper and lower quartiles, with whiskers extending to 1.5 times the interquartile range and outliers shown as dots. Results are shown for all 9,208 communities in Malawi and for all 758 HCFs that provided ART in 2020. a, Boxplots showing the number of HCFs in the catchment area surrounding each community. b, Boxplots of the level of service at each HCF (the level of service is defined as the localized supply-to-demand ratio for ART in the catchment area around the HCF). c, Boxplots of the SAA index.
