Cameroon Health Map

February 25, 2025

Cameroon’s health sector relies on real-time, accurate facility data across vast distances and diverse regions. Manually extracting, cleaning, and organizing this information from DHIS2 often slows down decision-making, leaving critical gaps in service planning.

The map-based dashboards produced by OpenHEXA highlight the geographic distribution of health facilities across Cameroon. Decision-makers instantly see which areas are underserved, how facility categories vary by region, and where additional support is most needed. By bringing location and status together—public, private, or faith-based—these dashboards turn raw data into actionable steps, ensuring care reaches the communities that need it most.

Operational Framework

  • Automated Pulls: OpenHEXA’s DHIS2 Toolbox pulls data on facilities, events, and organizational units directly from DHIS2, skipping the need for repeated, manual exports.
  • Cleansing & Structuring: The pipeline translates IDs into readable names, merges separate tables, and filters outdated information.
  • Enrichment: It can classify facilities by category (public, private, faith-based), algorithmically validate GPS locations, and prepare data for map-based visuals.
  • Central Database: All cleaned data is stored in a single database, ready to be used at any time.
  • Seamless Analytics: A connected Superset dashboards bring these insights to life—no additional coding required.

Use cases

Transforming  outdated systems into solid data foundations: discover how OpenHEXA delivers on modern data engineering needs.

LifeNet International operates across six African countries, supporting more than 400 faith-based health facilities with clinical training, management support, and health system strengthening programs. As LifeNet expanded its footprint, managing data across multiple platforms, countries, and program streams became increasingly complex. A unified Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) system was needed to consolidate these diverse data flows and ensure reliable, high-quality reporting.
