Eritrea Health Facilities with Location and Activity Data

A list of operating health facilities in Eritrea, likely compiled by the Global Healthsites Mapping Project. The dataset includes attributes such as facility name, nature, activities, and geographic coordinates. It was last updated on June 11, 2026.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare facility distribution based on latitude and longitude coordinates.
• Analyze the types of services available based on the 'Activities' attribute.
• Assess the mix of public and private healthcare providers based on the 'Nature of Facility' attribute.
• Calculate distances to healthcare access points for population studies using the geographic data.

Strengths

• Includes geographic coordinates (Lat, Long) for spatial analysis.
• Attributes describe facility type and services ('Nature of Facility', 'Activities').
• Data is available in multiple formats (GEOJSON, CSV, SHP) for different analysis tools.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source platform.
