Health Facilities in Denmark from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports of health facilities across Denmark, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. The data is compiled by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being 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 by comparing facility density against population data.

Strengths

• Covers multiple facility types: hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data completeness varies, with remote areas likely being less complete than urban ones.
