Health Facilities in Bangladesh from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide health facility locations across Bangladesh, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Analyze healthcare service access based on facility locations and types.
• Plan emergency response logistics based on the distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Map healthcare coverage gaps based on the completeness of facility tagging in different regions.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Includes a variety of health facility types, such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.

Limitations

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