The Health Metrics Network Framework

Updated January 2008

HMN's growing body of experience is reflected in second edition of the Framework and Standards for Country Information Systems available for download through this link.

The second edition has important new contributions from countries and partners, particularly in the elaboration of methods and standards for implementation as represented by the three-phase road map for applying the Framework.

HMN is also printing a hard-copy edition that will eventually be available through the HMN secretariat.

The Framework will continue to evolve and HMN is now receiving contributions from across the world that will shape the third edition which will address the next level of technical elaboration. Please continue to share your experience and questions with the HMN Secretariat online at http://www.who.int/healthmetrics/contact/en/. We look forward to capturing the work, best practices and aspirations of the global community committed to health information system strengthening.
