Africa Health Data Space
Find, explore, and request access to African health datasets — all in one place
What does this platform do?
The Africa Health Data Space helps researchers, public health organizations, and health professionals discover datasets relevant to their work across the African continent. Many valuable datasets exist across different repositories, but finding and accessing them can be difficult. This platform brings them together.
- Search across multiple data sources — connect to data repositories and see all available datasets in one overview
- Filter and explore — narrow down datasets by topic, keyword, or data provider
- Request access — select the datasets you need and generate a ready-to-send request email to the data owner
- Query data directly — for datasets with query endpoints, run analyses without downloading the data
