Health Metrics Network HMN is a global health partnership that focuses on two core requirements of health system strengthening in low and low-middle income countries:
- First, the need to enhance entire health information and statistical systems, rather than focus only upon specific diseases.
- Second, to concentrate efforts on strengthening country leadership for health information production and use.
In order to help meet these requirements and advance global health, it has become clear that there is an urgent need to coordinate and align partners around an agreed-upon “framework” for the development and strengthening of health information systems
