Health Facilities in French Southern and Antarctic Territories from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provide geospatial data for health-related facilities in the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. The dataset includes features tagged as healthcare amenities, such as hospitals, clinics, doctors' offices, dentists, and pharmacies. It was last updated on 2026-03-03.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare service locations based on OpenStreetMap tags like 'healthcare' and 'amenity'.
• Analyze facility types and specializations based on the 'healthcare:speciality' attribute.
• Assess facility capacity for planning using the 'capacity:persons' field.
• Geocode facility addresses for routing using fields like 'addr:full' and 'addr:city'.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative global mapping project.
• Includes multiple name variants ('name', 'name:en', 'name:fr') for international use.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GARMIN IMG, GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, SHP, KML).
• License is clearly specified as ODbL-1.0.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap.
