Work toward this outcome focuses on the development and implementation of integrated, interoperable information systems for health in countries and territories, with ethically used data from various sources, using effective information and communication technologies (ICTs) to generate disaggregated strategic information for the benefit of public health. Capacity building within countries and PASB is an integral part of this effort, including the sustained registration and availability of data. This outcome supports country efforts to implement information systems that ensure universal and timely open access to data and strategic information, using the most cost-effective tools to improve policy making and decision making, measurement and monitoring of health inequalities, measurement of progress toward achieving universal health, and public health surveillance.
