Optimizing medical supply chains in rural Ghana using spatial Data Science. Implementing K-Means and MCLP models to maximize healthcare coverage via drone delivery.
## Project Overview
**MASA** is a Data Science initiative designed to optimize the medical supply chain in rural Ghana. Our analysis identifies critical "blind spots" where hospitals remain isolated from emergency supplies, and proposes a data-driven drone delivery network to bridge the gap.
This project was developed during the **Jedha Bootcamp Full Stack Data Science** program.
## Problem Statement
- **The Gap**: 665 health facilities are currently out of reach of the existing drone network.
- **The Goal**: Design an optimized, scalable, and cost-effective hybrid network to deliver blood, vaccines, and essential medicines.
## Technical Stack
- **Data Engineering**: Web scraping (BeautifulSoup) & ETL pipelines.
- **Analysis**: Spatial EDA using `Geopandas` and `Folium`.
- **Machine Learning**: K-Means Clustering & MCLP (Maximal Covering Location Problem).
- **Deployment**: Interactive dashboard built with `Streamlit`.
## Key Results
- **Optimized Coverage**: Projected increase of 18% to 25% in population access.
- **Cost Efficiency**: Proposed CAPEX of **$1.2M** vs. traditional **$16M** infrastructures.
