Quantifying Inequitable Access to Rapid Burn and Reconstructive Care through Geospatial Mapping.

Time-critical pathologies, such as the care of burn-injured patients, rely on accurate travel time data to plan high-quality service provision. Geospatial modeling, using data from the Malaria Atlas Project, together with census data, permits quantification of the huge global discrepancies in temporal access to burn care between high-income and low-resource settings. In this study, focusing on the United Kingdom and Ghana, we found that a 3-fold population difference exists with, respectively, 95.
