The Global Healthsites Mapping Project is an initiative to create an online map of every health facility in the world. The framework has been built for capturing, publishing and sharing critical health facility related data and to help make these facilities more accessible and relevant to the communities they serve. In the future we plan to support additional domains where it is helpful in humanitarian work.
The map will record the contact details, location and resources available at every hospital, health post and rural healthcare clinic. No such healthsite data currently exists. We are making the data freely available to anyone via the Internet.
By simply clicking on the map users can drill in to learn what healthcare facilities exist at any global location and find out what resources exist at any individual healthcare facility.
The Healthsite Map will be of great value to members of the public, to health ministries and healthcare providers, and will be invaluable to first responders in emergency relief, disease epidemic and crisis situations.
