Usage

Health Icons is a volunteer effort to create a 'global good' for health projects all over the world. These icons are available in the public domain for use in any type of project.

The project is hosted by the public health not-for-profit Resolve to Save Lives as an expression of our committment to offer the icons for free, forever.

Contribute icons

Browse the Figma and contribute icons in the "New icons" section. Please read the code of conduct (below) and the styleguide (in the Figma) carefully before contributing.

Icon Guidelines

Icon Title and Tags in Figma

Each icon should have a title and tags which are added in the “Description” field in Figma. The format is: {title} [{tag1}, {tag2}, {tag3}…, dhis2:{tag}]

Some examples:

donkey icon:
Donkey [Animal, Ass, Farm, Mule, dhis2:donkey]

blood_rh_p icon:
Blood Type RH+ [Blood, RH Positive, dhis2:blood_rh_p]

More details:

• The “Description” only needs to go on the “filled” version of the icon in Figma
• Icon titles should be in Title Case with each word capitalized
• Tags are essentially synonyms or important related words that would help someone find the icon. They could also be alternative uses of the icon, the way a donkey could represent “farm”. If someone searches “blood” or “positive” they’ll see any icons that are tagged with those words. Tags should also be Title Case.
• The dhis2: formatted tag is a special tag reserved for icons that are in the DHIS2 icon set. This tag should exactly match whatever DHIS2 names this icon.

Code of Conduct

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Our standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:

• Using welcoming and inclusive language
• Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
• Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
• Focusing on what is best for the community
• Showing empathy towards other community members

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

• The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
• Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
• Public or private harassment
• Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
• Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Our responsibilities

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project team at contact@healthicons.org. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project’s leadership.
