WHO Embarks on the Creation of a Global Health Facilities Database
The World Health Organization is responding to a crucial global health care need. The need to simply know "Where are your health facilities?" The WHO announced the creation of a new Global Health Facilities Database (GHFD) that will allow all populations to locate and access information about health care services and facilities on a global scale. This timely and essential 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..." etc.
