The estimated cumulative number of healthcare facilities with the ability to export the qualified data package from 2015 to 2018 at national (a) and provincial (b) level. The data in 2018 was up to September 2018. The digital province-level map of China was obtained from the Data Sharing Infrastructure of Earth System Science (http://www.geodata.cn) to produce a thematic map of the cumulative number of healthcare facilities in different provinces using ArcGIS 9.2 software (ESRI Inc., Redlands, CA, USA). The significant differences in cumulative numbers across provinces meant that the cumulative number in (b) was adjusted from primary data using a formula: y = log2 (x+1).
