Many GIS studies seem to show that patients in LMICs are within 2 hours to a facility for surgery however, this is by using GIS modeling. We must have accurate patient data to know if patients really have access to surgery in a timely manner. Often the GIS assumptions do not take in the realities of how people travel to hospital in LMICs. https://gh.bmj.com/content/bmjgh/3/4/e000875.full.pdf.
