According to the Bank’s website, the objective of the health map is to regulate and redistribute hospital facilities fairly across the entire country. The government creates the conditions for proactive spatial planning by making the creation of facilities with beds or heavy equipment subject to the needs defined by the health map. The health map thus sets indicators of needs by health sector and region. It determines forecasts and operational objectives for the entire range of healthcare and health services, including prevention, health promotion, and medical and social support. It is a tool for regulation, monitoring, and planning to ensure the equitable spatial distribution of healthcare services. It ensures that healthcare provision is in line with the needs and demands of the population. It is the policy for territorial equity in access to healthcare. From this perspective, the project to develop a health and pharmaceutical map will be implemented in Gabon's ten health regions.
