What is Iaso?

Geographic information plays a fundamental role in the successful implementation of health and social programs. For example, initiatives focused on immunization, the elimination of neglected tropical diseases, or the distribution of bed nets depend heavily on precise data regarding villages, their populations, and geographical locations. Moreover, understanding the locations and services of healthcare facilities, as well as transportation routes, essential resources like electricity and water, and political boundaries, is essential for effective planning and execution of health initiatives. Various information systems are employed to capture and store this geographical data, albeit in diverse formats. However, discrepancies arise as village names and identifiers can differ markedly between databases, and the names and locations of health facilities can also vary across different systems. Additionally, regions are often divided into administrative and health categories, which are managed by separate authorities, further complicating the consistency of data. Over time, reference geospatial information within these systems can evolve, resulting in increased discrepancies. To mitigate these issues, Iaso has been developed as a geospatial data management platform that aims to support the continuous administration of geographical information, thereby ensuring enhanced accuracy and uniformity. By providing a streamlined approach to managing critical geographic data, this platform significantly contributes to the overall effectiveness of health programs and initiatives. Ultimately, the integration of reliable geospatial data is key to improving health outcomes and ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently.
