Sharing knowledge and productively growing the field
Building an open data commons of health facility data with OpenStreetMap
When a natural disaster or disease outbreak occurs there is a rush to establish accurate health care location data that can be used to support people on the ground. This has been demonstrated by events such as the Haiti earthquake and the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. As a result valuable time is wasted establishing accurate and accessible baseline data.
Healthsites.io establishes this data and the tools necessary to upload, manage and make the data easily accessible.
