Use Cases

• Map healthcare facility distribution and density based on geospatial location and facility type.
• Analyze healthcare service specialization based on the 'healthcare:speciality' attribute.
• Assess facility capacity for planning purposes based on the 'capacity:persons' field.
• Validate and enrich facility directories using multilingual name tags ('name:en', 'name:ar').

Strengths

• Includes multiple healthcare facility types (doctors, dentist, clinic, hospital, pharmacy) as specified in the description.
• Provides multilingual naming ('name:en', 'name:ar') and full address attributes for location context.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative and openly licensed mapping project.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
