DESCRIPTION:This talk presents how large-scale mapping in _OpenStreetMap_ 
 enabled the creation of high-resolution tools to measure and reduce geogra
 phic barriers to healthcare in rural Madagascar\, from optimizing communit
 y health worker deployment to planning door-to-door interventions. Buildin
 g on a district-level pilot\, we scaled this approach across multiple regi
 ons and estimated the resources required for nationwide mapping\, highligh
 ting how OSM can serve as a foundation for data-driven health system plann
 ing and improved access to care.
