Health Facilities in Cabo Verde from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap provides a free, collaboratively built map of health facilities in Cabo Verde. The data includes hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists tagged via `amenity` or `healthcare` keys. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote ones.

Use Cases

• 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 file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
