When Ebola hit West Africa, responders struggled to locate health facilities.

healthsites.io is fixing that — permanently, openly, for everyone.

In a crisis, valuable time is lost finding accurate health facility data. Without a shared approach, organisations duplicate efforts, waste donor funds, and work with inaccurate data.

https://healthsites.io/ builds a free, open, community-validated global baseline anchored in OpenStreetMap. Data contributed by one partner becomes a permanent asset for everyone — even when programmes end.

We drive this through our Emergency Health Mapping Campaign, developed with local OpenStreetMap communities and Ministries of Health.

No single organisation owns it. It belongs to the commons.
