Moreover, we numerically show that a service-level th...

摘要：The population of truck drivers plays a key role in the spread of HIV and other infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa. Truck drivers thereby affect the health and lives of many, but also suffer from poor health and significantly reduced life expectancy themselves. Due to professional circumstances, their health service needs are generally not well addressed. Therefore, the non-governmental organization North Star Alliance builds a network of healthcare facilities along the largest trucking...
