Method & notes
A state-level health establishment count is a supply signal, not a clinic-opportunity verdict; local population, access, specialty mix and catchment still matter.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita transcribes DOSM's published state establishment counts for private health and social-work services.
- Includes hospitals, maternity homes, general and specialised medical services, dental, dialysis, laboratories, complementary medicine and social-work activities.
- This is broader than clinics alone.
- Category density should be combined with population, income, accessibility and local service mix.
