About this Dataset

Global Atlas Of Medical Devices

The Global Atlas of Medical Devices (GAMD) provides global, regional, and country data on the availability of:

National policy on health technology
Regulation of medical devices
Health technology assessment national unit
Health technology management
Use of medical devices nomenclature system
National lists of priority medical devices
High-cost medical equipment

The GAMD also identifies that Member States designate a focal point for health technologies and medical devices. Each Member State designates a focal point in the ministry of health with the survey responses.

The WHO Baseline Country Survey on Medical Devices was developed in 2009. The aim was to determine the health technology areas that required support in countries and regions. It was launched in February 2010. In 2013, it was updated and re-launched as the Global Atlas of Medical Devices. The GAMD was updated in 2017, and the 2022 update is under development.
