General guidance

"Calculation: only sustained comprehensive support should be included, e.g. staffing support to run/manage the facility; one-off medicine supplies or equipment, for example, should not be included.
Support should be further measured, wherever possible, against established needs as explained under A.1.a and A.1.b

Interpretation: this indicator can be used to assess gaps and overlaps in the health response"

Guidance on phases

There is a differing level of quality of data which can be collected at different phases of the emergency depending on the context, eg the data available and the systems for data collection in place before the crisis, the accessibility of the affected areas, the resources on the ground, etc...

Phase applicability

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

Phase 4

Guidance for pre-crisis/baseline

Census of health facilities should be available for crisis-prone countries, possibly as part of the COD/FOD, as a prepardness instrument

Data Sources

Numerator: 3 Ws , Denominator: census of health facilities
