Field Content
name Global Healthsites Mapping Project
description Accurate health facility data is a critical yet chronically unreliable resource, undermining health
system functions from routine care to emergency response. healthsites.io addresses this challenge by building a collaborative, open-data ecosystem anchored on OpenStreetMap. This strategy invites governments, NGOs, funders, and private sector stakeholders to share and maintain health facility data within a reciprocal system.
healthsites.io is driving the data validation process through the Emergency Health mapping
campaign. Our roadmap centres on developing a Location Validation Index (LVI) to score data
quality and prioritise validation efforts, and a tiered API subscription model to ensure sustainable platform funding. In the meantime, the healthsites.io API is available today as a free, open service.
By supporting Emergency Health Mapping Campaigns and engaging as a data partner now,
organisations directly enable the development of these capabilities while gaining access to a
growing validated global baseline.
This creates a sustainable multiplier effect: all participants benefit from a shared resource that is more accurate, comprehensive, and impactful than any single organisation could achieve alone. It presents a well-governed working space for the application of AI and the supporting social licence.
Crucially, it provides Ministries of Health with a practical model to justify investment in open,
interoperable data to their Ministries of Finance , transforming health facility data from a recurring project cost into a permanently maintained national infrastructure asset.
