Population density expressed per 1000 persons/km2. Poor population measured as percentage of individuals below the poverty line. Hospital and PHC services measured as population-to-facility ratios (persons per hospital/PHC). TB Tuberculosis, DM Diabetes mellitus, PHC Primary health care, PHC Primary health care
