As part of basic building-blocks to develop a solid foundation for WHO's emerging work on health and human rights, a Global Database on Health and Human Rights Actors has just been launched on WHO Health and Human Rights website. This database contains information gathered from a survey of organizations concerning their structures and programs. It is searchable by country (where the organization is located) or by specific health issue.

This database contains information gathered from a 65 question survey of organizations concerning their organizational structures and programs. The intention of the database is to facilitate efforts of WHO to utilize existing institutional expertise in the area of health and human rights through collaboration and information-sharing. It is a joint effort between the World Health Organization and the Program for International Health and Human Rights of the François-Xavier Bagnoud Centre for Health and Human Rights at the Harvard School of Public Health.
