Global Health Facilities Database
(WHO – World Health Organization)
https://www.who.int/data/GIS/GHFD
Every country faces the challenging task of keeping its people healthy.  From delivering primary care in rural communities and urban centers, to addressing health crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, each country needs accurate and reliable data to ensure its population knows where to go for the care they need.
A well-maintained health facilities master list helps countries leverage data to meet their public health needs. Keeping that data current is paramount for countries to make informed public-health decisions, monitor ongoing health concerns, and accelerate response times in emergency situations.
For these reasons, the World Health Organization is announcing a new Global Health Facilities Database – a timely and essential resource to locate and provide access to healthcare services for all populations. As a global public good, this repository will standardize the master lists of local and regional health facilities into an open database.  Doing so will strengthen country’s technical capacity at all levels, improve data interoperability across information systems, support the provision of universal health coverage, and accelerate progress toward the triple billion targets
