Health GeoLab

The Health GeoLab (HGL) was established in the MORU in April 2022 with the vision of low- and middle-income countries in Asia and the Pacific to fully benefit from geospatial data and technologies to achieve the health-related Sustainable Development Goal of healthy lives and well-being for all (SDG 3).

To reach this vision, the HGL aims to strengthen and sustain the technical capacity of the health sector in countries in the Region in the management and use of geospatial data and technologies.

The work of the HGL is organized around the following three entities and activities:
