Health Facilities in Ghana from OpenStreetMap

Ghanaian health facilities exported from OpenStreetMap. The data includes hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists tagged via `amenity` or `healthcare` keys. It was last updated on 2026-05-15 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Analyze healthcare service access based on facility type and location.
• Plan emergency response routes based on the distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Map healthcare coverage gaps based on the density of facilities across regions.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Explicitly includes facilities tagged as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
