In 2001, the Nicaragua Ministry of Health conducted a census of the nation's health facilities in partnership with the Monitoring and Evaluation to Assess and Use Results (MEASURE) evaluation, a project from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) that advances monitoring and evaluation of global health programs. Survey teams collected information about the facilities' services and staffing and used GPS receivers to collect latitude and longitude coordinates for every facility they visited. Today, this data continues to help planners in Nicaragua analyze health accessibility and availability of services in the country.
