Development of the Rwanda Health Observatory (R-HO) Platform
1. Background |
||||||||
Quality data is critical for evidence-based decision-making, sound planning and resource allocations, and monitoring of health sector targets such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Rwanda Ministry of Health (MoH) collects data from various systems used in over 500 health facilities. This data is siloed, impeding its quality and use to inform policymaking. To address this concern the MoH is establishing a data warehouse (DW) to integrate the various data sources into a single integrated and interoperable system. The DW will serve as a backbone to feed different analytics platforms. The World Health Organization (WHO) promotes health observatories worldwide, including the Rwanda Health Observatory (R-HO), which will be established as a one-stop-shop and open-access platform for storing, analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating health information. As a first step, the RHO Web portal will be developed as the main source of reliable, complete, and timely health-related data and evidence in the country. The overall objective is to implement a health data warehouse specific to Rwanda that will be used to power analytics platforms/systems. This data warehouse will also serve as a single source of verified data to support monitoring of the health system in general and SDGs monitoring. These data will feed similar systems used at the National Institute of Statistics (NISR), such as the Open SDG platform. In addition, the R-HO will feed the WHO’s Global Health Observatory and provide access to validated data for public use |
