Hi everyone, I am a PhD researcher currently in Haiti, working to develop a solid evidence base for the assessment of the availability of health resources and services in protracted emergencies essentially, which kinds of health systems/services/resources data are most useful for prioritizing health interventions, and how can they be collected. After Haiti, I head to Sudan and South Sudan to continue this work. Our hope is to be able to develop recommendations for collecting pertinent and timely information in the early stages of acute crisis response so as to develop the foundation for meaningful, in-depth assessments of health facilities and resources throughout the transition and recovery stages. We want to avoid the development of parallel assessment systems, but rather develop recommendations for common assessments among health (and other) partners so as to establish a baseline early on that can then be built upon with more in-depth data as the response unfolds. I am working in collaboration with the Global Health Cluster in Geneva.
Two requests: I am looking for the Sahana Dataset that was created during the Haiti earthquake response. If anyone has this in Excel format (or another format), could you please share this with me? Second, if anyone has done any health facilities mapping work in Sudan or South Sudan, I would be quite interested in speaking with you.
