HeRAMS Niger Baseline Report 2023: Operational status of the health system

The Health Resources and Services Availability Monitoring System (HeRAMS) aims to provide decision-makers and health stakeholders at large with vital and up-to-date information on the availability of essential health resources and services, help them identify gaps, and determine priorities for intervention. 

HeRAMS has been deployed in Niger since January 2023 and has allowed for the assessment of 3496 health service delivery units (HSDUs) across the country. Data presented in this report were up until  July 5^th, 2023. It is important to note that the deployment of HeRAMS is ongoing, including data verification and validation. Hence, this analysis is not final and was produced solely for the purpose of informing operations. 

This is the first report of the HeRAMS Niger Baseline Report 2023 series focusing on the operational status of HSDUs, including the level and type of support provided by partners and availability of basic amenities. For more in-depth information on the availability of essential health services and barriers impeding service delivery, specialized reports are available covering:

• general clinical and trauma care services,
• child health and nutrition services,
• communicable disease services,
• sexual and reproductive health services, and
• non-communicable disease and mental health services.
