*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Breast milk supply-demand South Africa

The supply of breast milk (left) is twice as large as the demand (right) in South Africa. Breast milk demand (indicated by a red dot for a neonatal unit in the right hand image) is spread out in the northeast provinces and on the east coast where the population is more rural and poor. Using this data, Georgia Tech systems engineers created models to strategically determine how a nongovernmental organization in South Africa should expand its breast milk donation and distribution network to the whole country.
