Health Services Availability Maps for Northern Uganda

Service Availability Mapping (SAM) is a tool to collect and present basic information on health services: health infrastructure, human resources and services offered.

Its main application is at the district level or sub county level, where district health management teams can use the results of the SAM in conjunction with WHO's HealthMapper application, developed by the Public Health Mapping and GIS programme, to map and monitor health services.
