The package makes it easy to prepare all necessary inputs by automating tasks such as data downloading, cropping, masking, projection, and resampling with easy-to-use functions. inAccessMod includes additional functions that help users modify inputs and perform complex analyses like merging sub-national travel scenarios. The package also facilitates handling of health facility data from The Health Resources and Services Availability Monitoring System (WHO/HeRAMS) (WHO, 2022), and performs specialized result assessments like ranking of health facilities based on their coverage.
