SPHIP Support Team - Guide for the establishment of health observatories, First edition, April 2016
This guide is intended for countries wishing to develop their own National Health Observatories (NHO). It is anticipated that, given the wide variety of political, health, economic, cultural and social resources and contexts, the development of national observatories needs to be specific to individual country contexts. That is why the proposed guidelines are general in scope, so as to be adaptable to suit each country’s needs.
This document is divided into the following parts:
Part I describes the objectives and functions of health observatories based on experience already gained in other countries and through the WHO global and regional observatories.
Part II considers the main issues to be addressed during implementation, such as organizational management, capacity skills and relationships with producers and users.
Part III describes the major components of a national health observatory.
Part IV describes an implementation process in which the setting up of an NHO is geared to the planning cycle in each country.
