Consultant for Health Services Mapping

The Mapping of services pillar was initially implemented in 2018 with the support of public health expert through designing a questionnaire and creating a scoring system that would assess the quality of services in 6 countries in MENA. From this concept, M-Coalition has been working on redefining and improving the questionnaire to update the mapping of health services in different countries in MENA. The results of the mapping will be displayed on sanadi website by summarizing and measuring them based on different indicators that will evaluate the services of the mapped centers. The Mapping will allow organizations to assess, monitor, evaluate and improve their services and it will provide individuals with the needed information to choose and reach the service they need.
