METHODOLOGY
Methodology on collection of data
The data displayed on the global map has been collated by Insecurity Insight from a range of different sources, including incidents collected through our open-source monitoring and incidents shared through our partner agencies. It includes any reported act of verbal or physical violence, obstruction, threat of violence that interferes with the availability of, access to, and delivery of curative and/or preventative health services perpetrated by state and non-state actors, patients or relatives of patients, private individuals, and criminals. Data starts from 2016, coinciding with the UN Security Council resolution 2286 to protect health care in conflict, and is updated on a daily basis.
It displays the total number of reported incidents involving an attack on a health system, the total number of incidents involving an attack on a health facility resulting in damage or destruction to the facility, and the total number of health workers killed, arrested or kidnapped since 01 January 2016.
For more information on Insecurity Insight’s methodology and the definitions used for the data presented in this map, see the relevant Data Explainer.
