Global Health Facilities Data Initiative (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 pandemics, each country needs accurate and reliable data to plan and deliver quality health services.
Ministries of Health can benefit from leveraging geospatial data and technologies to better plan, monitor and implement timely health interventions; inform decision-making; and collaborate across sectors and regions to better serve communities. However, many countries currently miss out on these benefits because they lack a high-quality georeferenced health facility master list.
Geolocated Health Facilities Data (GHFD) initiative seeks to turn this global gap into a global good. The initiative provides support for developing:
– a georeferenced Health Facility Master List (HFML) per country that is maintained, actively used, and publicly shared by the Ministry of Health;
– Ministry of Health capacity to leverage geospatial information systems (GIS) for health;
– a global directory containing HFML-related information of importance to the international community.
Once developed, this framework will assist countries, regions, and the world in accelerating progress toward WHO’s Triple Billion targets and the Sustainable Development Goals.
