Across Pakistan as a whole, pneumonia in under-fives is at 0.9× its usual; here it is 0.1×.

Why each district against itself. A large district always has more cases than a small one. Each dot is a district against its own usual, so size drops out.

How far is care from here?

Dooram does not show walking times for Kalat.

The travel-time map these figures come from is missing clinics in Kalat: it would put 96% of people more than two hours from care. A figure that cannot be right is left out rather than shown.

How well are children and mothers looked after in Kalat?

Better than Pakistan as a whole on 1 of 5, worse on 4.

A reported case means someone reached a clinic and a form was filed, so these count reports, not everyone who was ill.
