Finding where health outcomes
cluster — and why.

I'm Fetene Getnet, an MSc Health Data Science student at Debre Markos University. I build machine learning and spatial models on Ethiopian DHS data — from childhood stunting to institutional delivery — to help point health resources at the places that need them most.
