Wonderful @Sagir! Woo Hoo!! Great to read that you are wanted to kick off 2018 right by creating here on Connect a Worldwide Local Guides Community challenge. 

I highly recommend you define, plan and create your Worldwide Hospital Edit and Review  Challenge Meet-up using the easy online Local Guides Meet-up Tools.  I also recommend that you expand your WorldWide Edit and Review Challenge to include medical clinics, doctor's offices, etc. since there a limited number of hospitals in a city.

Each Local Guide community who decides to join your challenge will create their own meet-up event invite using this tool.  You should also pick a start and end date for your Challenge. 

Successful Worldwide Challenges usually happen over a 2 day weekend because not every community can do it on the same day and having it on a weekend you will get more Local Guides willing to participate.

I highly recommend you review and study the active What Are Your Tips for 1st Time Meet-up Hosts board.  It's a great Local Guides  Connect resource to learn what works and doesn't work when creating meet-ups. 

Finally, three mega "rock star" Local Guides who have organized and hosted very successful Worldwide meet-ups last year are @HelloSamsonR  @OSAMA (thanks guys for already "cheering" Sagir on), and @BudionoS. They are awesome Local Guides to know and are fantastic resources in learning how to create fun, high impact Worldwide Local Guides meetup events. Just ask for help. They can direct you to each of their Worldwide Meet-up boards here on Connect and help provide you their insight of what worked and didn't work for them. 

The key to hosting a fun, successful Worldwide event is being organized, motivating, friendly and helpful. 

Unfortunately, or fortunately, here in the United States, especially where I live in San Francisco, there is rarely any "adding" or "editing" hospitals to Google Maps because we already have Street View photos on Google Maps.  The information rarely changes and Google Maps clearly is marked where the hospitals, medical clinics, and doctor's offices are. 

I've already reviewed my local hospitals and medical office buildings in my city. 

I look forward to seeing and reading your Worldwide Challenge recap here on Connect.

Good Luck!

Cheers,

Karen

Hi @Sagir

Good on you for showing great initiative to get this challenge on the way. It was super talking to you on Google Hangouts - The Worldwide Google Maps Volunteer Hangouts last Friday about this. It was also fabulous to see Lagos and where you work.

I am so happy you have taken it on in such an excellent motivational manner. 

As we spoke of, (and Karen has stated about America), In Australia the Hospitals are already on Google Maps with Google Street view images in all areas. Google Maps is so efficient and effective with Google Earth in always being the best for all information and directional purpose. We as Google Maps Local Guides members are so lucky with that being so. Getting reviews for them is already a well noted action by many top Local Guide members too. Mostly all good too which is a great thing.

I talked to you about in our area on Sydney's Northern Beaches there is a massive new Hospital being constructed and it will be wonderful when completed. The plans are magnificent.all the latest medical technical wonders will be available. 

Making your challenge about getting reviews and the latest up to date information of what is available in every hospital is a great challenge. Plus with so many hospitals world wide always needing extra funding for research and resources, who to contact in getting permission for fund raising events with a simple email request and or Phone call or Google Hangout meeting can be part of what you make this challenge about.

Getting the contact numbers and addresses for fund raising and research departments then taking on that as a purpose and goal to work towards in your Google Maps Local Guides Connect Challenge is a fantastic idea. 

There was an inquiry about finding out about helping the local hospital fund raising and how to go about it just the other day in G+ Sydney Local Guides, The G+ community moderator Paul Sneddon highlighted it in the community, so your idea for making it a Local Guides Hospitals, Fund raising, Contact information, Challenge will work really well. Congratulations! 

All the advice from @KarenVChin is excellent as always. I will assist in any way I can, in sharing the challenge and making it a set mission to achieve world wide working together your idea will be a great success. With help from @OSAMA , @HelloSamsonR and @BudionoS as top meetup organisers it will a great Local Guides Connect challenge all round! 

Cheers
