eHealth & OSM - How it Started
 As one of the top Non-profit NGOs in Nigeria with interest at improving
access to public health, GIS and spatial data is key to our operations
 We maintain a robust spatial database of Nigeria used for planning,
implementing and monitoring immunization activities
 At a particular time we needed more road data for routing and vaccine
delivery planning
 We also wanted to share some of our field collected data with the public
 OSM provided the platform to easily create, share and leverage on the data
and other applications in our operations

Our Achievements with OSM
 From the first moment that we created our first node, we have been able to
achieve much with mapping OSM in a short period. Below are the summary;
5
 10 Northern States of operation
ward boundary polygon = 2788
LGA boundary polygon = 250
State boundary polygon = 10
Total = 3,048
 Other 26 States & FCT;
LGA boundary polygon = 523
State boundary polygon = 27
Total = 550
 8 Northern States Residential
area (polygon)
Polygon = 9,430
Multi polygon = 1538
Total = 10,968
 Kano State Health Facilities (nodes) =
1,087
 Bauchi State Health Facilities
(Nodes) = 1,096
 Borno State Health Facilities
(Nodes) ongoing = 1,096
 Kaduna State road and building
mapping
 Bauchi State road and building
mapping
 Over 200,000Km of road
network mapped
 Work in progress; place name
Kano = 2,084

Kano Vaccine Direct Delivery (KVDD)
 One of eHealth Africa support services to Kano State Primary Health care
Management Board to make vaccines available at all time in Health Facilities
across the state for routine vaccination
 Addresses inadequate logistics i.e. under or over stock of vaccines, late
supply of needed vaccines and damage due to high temperature
 Objective is to ensure that there is routine immunization at all point of
service in each of Kano 484 wards by stabilizing supply thereby increasing
confidence and building demand for routine immunization
 And GIS is to calculate the routing and mapping products for the project in
ensuring that eHealth Africa supplies vaccines and immunization supply to
each facility in rotation biweekly

Challenges & Future Plans
 Getting more volunteers, mapping enthusiast and GIS Specialist on the
project of mapping Nigeria on OSM with appropriate tags and feature name
 Our future plan is to continue with this as much as we can go from one state
to another
 Map Nigeria to building level to support the Nigeria 2016 Census
 The next phase will be to collect streets, roads, and other feature of interest
names and update the OSM database.
