national database

A national database is a centralized digital system that collects, stores, and manages information across an entire country. It compiles data from various sources to provide a comprehensive and accessible record—such as healthcare records, identification details, or economic data—that can be used for policymaking, research, and service delivery. By having a unified system, governments can improve efficiency, ensure data accuracy, and support better decision-making while maintaining security and privacy protocols. Think of it as a digital vault containing organized, country-wide information that helps streamline public services and strategic planning.
