Angola Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap, Including Hospitals and Clinics

Health facilities in Angola exported from OpenStreetMap, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. The data is built by volunteers and maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, with a last recorded update in May 2026. Completeness likely varies, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Analyze healthcare service access based on facility type and location.
• Plan emergency response routes based on the distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Map healthcare coverage gaps by comparing facility density against population data.

Strengths

• Includes multiple facility types such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoPackage, KML, Shapefile, and GeoJSON.
• Data is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL-1.0) for open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, while remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
