World Compendium of Healthcare Facilities and Nonprofit Organizations

Abstract

Today the global marketplace for delivery of targeted healthcare in resource-poor regions presents challenging barriers. That is to say, while human and capital resources available to care for underserved populations have increased, these resources remain unevenly distributed. The people and institutions that wish to deliver healthcare—volunteers, nonprofits, governments, the private sector—lack ready access to the granular, local data necessary to identify those most in need. World Compendium of Healthcare Facilities and Nonprofit Organizations seeks to address this information asymmetry and thereby reduce the frictions that lead to inefficient delivery of services or disengagement. Among the most comprehensive resources of its kind, World Compendium presents a curated directory of nonprofits, non? governmental organizations (NGOs), hospitals, and healthcare facilities in 72 low and lower-middle-income countries as classified by the World Bank. Access to such data highlights areas that are underserved or in need of additional assistance. The content is listed by country and enhanced with custom maps and country overviews.
