Croatian Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap for Gap Analysis

OpenStreetMap exports provide a free, collaborative map of health facilities in Croatia, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-14. Completeness of the volunteer-built map varies, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote regions.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON
• Covers a specific range of facility types including 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 potentially being incomplete
