Open data is data that can be freely used, re-used, and redistributed by anyone without any technical, financial or legal restrictions, taking into account the legal permission terms, by virtue of which this data was published via the
Open Data Portal.
The Portal provides a platform that enables visitors to benefit from and use published data as needed. The Portal provides an open literary featuring files of various data, with a view to creating a database hub and developing a public strategy to enable transparency, promote e-participation and inspire innovation. The Ministry of Health (MOH) has endeavored to publish, update, and provide this data to all beneficiaries in the Open Data Portal.
The open data helps bridge the gap between MOH and the public, as they benefit from the data provided to them in many different ways, such as acquiring a better understanding of how the Ministry works, as well as opening up the opportunities for people to evaluate its performance and to express their views on its general policies (based on information). The Ministry also allows using the data for research, reports, providing feedback, and developing web and smartphone applications.
