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 the data quality improvement this through our Emergency Health Mapping Campaign, and Data import process developed with local OpenStreetMap communities and Ministries of Health. Help us mobile in support of the DRC Ebola reponse.

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