DSIR: Data Science Infrastructure for Global Health

Supports global health data analysis, including a publication-ready 'ggplot2' theme, a 'flextable' defaults helper, a thin pie chart wrapper, built-in regional country-code datasets with a WHO region lookup helper, a geometric mean function for indicator aggregation, an average annual rate of reduction function for indicator progress tracking, direct age standardization against the bundled WHO 2026 Standard Population, period life-table construction, a snapshot helper for reproducible data pulls, and convenience clients for the World Health Organization Global Health Observatory (GHO) through its legacy OData API <https://www.who.int/data/gho/info/gho-odata-api> or the public WHO xMart OData API <https://xmart-api-public.who.int/DATA_>, Global Health Estimates (GHE) through WHO xMart, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) API <https://unstats.un.org/SDGAPI/swagger/>.
