Without an integrated, up-to-date view of this geospatial data and the insights it provides, it’s much harder for public health officials to allocate resources accurately, effectively, and cost-effectively.

Bluesquare helps countries and their health systems partners improve health planning and monitoring through stronger management of geospatial reference data.

Having geospatial data alone isn’t enough without the digital tools and knowhow to use it effectively. So we’ll support you with setting up and updating the fast evolving georegistries and health facility registries, data collection and validation, and integrating geospatial data with other information systems.

Using georegistries and health facility registries strengthens monitoring and resource allocation. Georegistries provide data and analysis that help countries with assessing key public health indicators to aid planning and monitoring of services, including service coverage, Health services accessibility, Health services referral areas and populations.

Georegistries give you a unified overview of all relevant geospatial data at country level. They often include data such as Administrative boundaries, geolocation of villages and facilities, Geolocalized population estimates, etc.

Health facility registries provide data and analysis that help health officials to plan and monitor resource allocations to facilities and districts, to avoid problems such as stockouts of specific drugs and understaffing.

Health facility registries provide you with a precise and detailed overview of health services in a country, including a lists of health facilities that are currently open and accredited by the Ministry of Health, Health pyramid and organization of referrals between different levels of the health system, available infrastructure, equipment, and human resources, etc.

By using precise, integrated data from either or both types of registry, you can plan and monitor vital health services more efficiently and accurately.
