Data was sourced from the National Department of Health and the National Institute for Communicable Diseases, Health Systems Trust, Global Health Workforce Statistics database, Global Health Observatory of the WHO, National Census, and 2016 Community Survey (abbreviated CS 2016). It is not the intention to duplicate efforts of dashboards tracking the spread of COVID-19. The team recommends the dashboard developed by interdisciplinary team of researchers from Wits University and iThemba LABS of the NRF in collaboration with the data analytics team of DataConvergence.
This resource was compiled by a team of data scientists from the South African Environmental Observation Network (SAEON) working on understanding the risk and vulnerability of communities in South Africa to disasters.
