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  • Cleansing & Structuring: The pipeline translates IDs into readable names, merges separate tables, and filters outdated information.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.

Polio vaccination campaigns calendar based on IASO

Bluesquare has brought forward OpenHEXA’s data management capabilities to develop a more integrated approach to managing polio vaccination campaigns across Africa with the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI).

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.

To support outbreak response efforts, OpenHEXA serves as the primary data integration platform for the Centre d’Opération des Urgences de Santé Publique (COUSP) in the DRC.

Since 2023, PRAPS-2, with the technical support of Bluesquare, has developed an innovative monitoring and evaluation platform to support pastoralism in the Sahel. Bluesquare was recruited by the Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS), which ensures the regional coordination of the project.
