Good day,

The expected dataset is top 5 diseases as diagnosed per location with the number of cases. An alternative could be the number of diseases per major disease groups: Infectious Diseases, Deficiency diseases, Hereditary Diseases (genetic and non-genetic), and Physiological Diseases per location with the number of cases as well. I hope this clarifies the request. Otherwise, please let me know if further clarification is needed.

Thanks!
