Health Facilities in the British Virgin Islands from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on health facilities in the British Virgin Islands, last updated 2026-05-15. It includes hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists tagged via `amenity` or `healthcare` keys. The dataset is exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and is useful for service-access analysis, emergency response, and healthcare gap mapping.

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 by comparing facility density to population data.

Strengths

• Includes multiple facility types: hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON.
• Sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative global mapping project.

Limitations

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