\details{
The X,Y coordinates (as well as the Lat/Lon coordinates) refer to the exact locations of operating hospitals in the summer 2016. The locations were identified from registry data, formal hospital addresses, OpenStreetMap (https://www.openstreetmap.org) and Google Maps (https://maps.google.com), including Street View. They were manually digitised by the author of this package.
