A python based project for analysing health financing # Nigeria-Health-Financing-Analysis- A python based project for analysing health financing # Health Financing Indicators for Nigeria (1995-2014) ## Project Overview Welcome to my analysis of health financing indicators in Nigeria! This project delves into the financial aspects of Nigeria's health sector over two decades, from 1995 to 2014. My goal was to uncover key trends, patterns, and insights into how healthcare is funded and utilized in the country, providing a clearer picture of its evolution. ## Dataset Description The core of this project is the `health-financing-indicators-for-nigeria-4.csv` dataset. This dataset, sourced from reliable health statistics, provides a comprehensive look at various health financing metrics specific to Nigeria. It includes indicators such as private prepaid plans, government expenditure on health (both per capita and as a percentage of total government expenditure), total health expenditure (per capita and as a percentage of GDP), external resources for health, social security expenditure, and out-of-pocket expenditure. The data spans from 1995 to 2014, offering a valuable time series for historical analysis. ## Analysis Summary My analysis began with a thorough Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to understand the dataset's structure, identify missing values, and clean the data. I renamed columns for clarity and converted data types as needed. Following the initial inspection and cleaning, I summarized key statistics and analyzed the distributions of important variables. I then performed advanced analysis, focusing on: - Trends over time: Visualizing how each indicator has evolved from 1995 to 2014 using line plots. - Indicator distributions: Understanding the spread and central tendency of each indicator's values using box plots. - Average indicator values: Comparing the overall magnitude of different financing indicators through bar charts. - Snapshot of the latest year: Examining the status of indicators in 2014 to unders …
