Usage

import pandas as pd

# Load specific burden category
df = pd.read_csv("high_burden.csv")

# Load all data
dfs = [
    pd.read_csv("high_burden.csv"),
    pd.read_csv("moderate_burden.csv"),
    pd.read_csv("low_burden.csv")
]
df = pd.concat(dfs, ignore_index=True)

# Analyze improved facility coverage
improved_rate = df["improved_facility"].mean()
