WHO Global Health Facility Electricity Access Metrics

Facility-level data on the percentage of healthcare facilities with a reliable electricity supply, collected by the World Health Organization. The dataset supports monitoring of Sustainable Development Goal 7 targets for universal energy access in healthcare settings. It is part of the WHO Global Health Observatory repository.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in the 'percentage of facilities with reliable electricity' metric across different countries or regions.
• Model the relationship between facility electricity access and other health system indicators from the WHO GHO.
• Rank countries or subnational areas by their 'percentage' value to identify priority regions for infrastructure investment.
• Correlate electricity reliability with facility type or management level using other facility attributes.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative World Health Organization Global Health Observatory.
• Covers a global scope, enabling cross-country and regional comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column details, and temporal coverage are unknown from the input.
• Data may have gaps or inconsistent reporting periods across member states.
