Inspiration

India has over 600,000 healthcare facilities but no standardized way to assess which ones are reachable and capable. For NGOs like Virtue Foundation working in medically underserved districts, a bad referral wastes time patients don't have.

What it does

The Facility Trust Desk scores 10,088 healthcare facilities across four evidence dimensions: basic information, contact reachability, location verification, and capability documentation. Each facility gets a transparent trust score from 0 to 100 with full breakdown.

The dual-layer map is the core insight: 706 Indian districts are color-coded by medical desert status (Critical Desert, Severe Shortage, Moderate Shortage, Adequate Coverage) with facility trust pins overlaid. A coordinator can instantly see a High Trust facility inside a Critical Desert district — that is where referrals matter most.

How we built it

Delta Lake for storage, Lakebase for persistence, Python for the scoring pipeline, React frontend deployed as a Databricks App. Leaflet.js choropleth for district coverage with facility pins by trust level.

Challenges we ran into

Source data had significant quality gaps. We joined against the India Post pincode directory to recover coordinates for additional facilities and implemented honest uncertainty communication throughout.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Scoring 10,088 facilities with a transparent four-dimension model. Layering facility trust with district medical desert data to tell a richer story than either dataset alone.

What we learned

Data quality is part of the trust story. A facility with incomplete records is itself a signal — surfacing that honestly is more valuable than hiding it.

What's next for Virtue Foundation Facility Trust Desk

Real-time data validation, expanded coverage to additional countries, and integration with Virtue Foundation's existing referral workflows.
