DHIS2 Level 2 Maps Academy

Delivery:    Facilitated/ instructor-led eLearning

Description:    Maps are important tools in healthcare delivery. The availability of user-friendly Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with a range of analytic health related data sets, provides a powerful tool for analysis, accessibility and display of data for decision making and planning. 

The DHIS2 Maps App offers a range of ways to visualise big data. With the Maps App you can overlay multiple layers and choose among different basemaps. You can create thematic maps of areas and points, view facilities based on classifications, and visualize catchment areas for each facility. You can add labels to areas and points, and search and filter using various criteria.
