The Ministry of Health has launched the National Health Database Platform and HEFRA’s Digitized Health Facility Assessment system, supported by the USAID Health Strengthening Accelerator Project.

The platform is set to integrate health data from all agencies under the ministry, centralizing information for better decision-making and improved healthcare services.

Chief Director of the Ministry, Alhaji Hafiz Adam, highlighted that the platform, developed by Results for Development (R4D), enables the Ministry to visualize health priorities and make data-driven decisions through advanced analytics.

“The development of the National Health Database and HEFRA’s Digitized Health Facility Assessment Platform is crucial for achieving Universal Health Coverage,” Alhaji Hafiz Adam stated.
