They look like pictures, I don't know if there's another source someone can post here to get scraper to work

Along these lines, is there anybody willing to start collecting what data is available regarding the number of people screened by community health workers? (should this be a separate request?)

we should be able to scrape the western cape's dashboard. they seem to have established a fairly consistent format now.

hypothetically, if i develop a scraper, how should it work? is there someone who will host/run it? Are there other scrapers in this project?

hey @JemLukeBingham, maybe best to open a new issue.
