National Surgical & Health Policy Atlas
A continuously updated global repository of National Surgical Plans (NSPs) and National Health Plans (NHPs) with surgical considerations — mapping policy coverage across all WHO regions.
Global NSP / NHP Status
Switch the map between policy documents, World Bank income level, and national health financing. All countries appear on income and financing maps; diagonal stripes mark countries with NSP or NHP documents in this repository.
Policy Documents
Economy & financing combines World Bank income, GNI, development status, and health spending data. Disciplines are detected from PDF text (npm run disciplines after adding files). Years lists the catalogue year per document; countries with both NSP and NHP show two years—one per file.
| Country | Region | Economy & financing | Disciplines | Documents | Access |
