Service Availability Mapping
Service Availabilty Mapping is the first round of SAM survey in Nigeria. It is a health facility survey, designed by World Health Organization (WHO) to monitor the situation of health facilities. It has already been conducted in many African countries.
Service Availability Mapping (SAM) is a tool to collect and present basic information on health services: health infrastructure, human resources and services offered. Its main application is at the sub-national or Local Government level, where LGA health management teams can use the results of the SAM in conjunction with WHO's HealthMapper application, developed by the Public Health Mapping and GIS programme, to map and monitor health services. SAM is made up of a survey methodology, remote field data collection devices, and WHO's HealthMapper application
