Health Facilities in Gibraltar from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a volunteer-built map of health facilities, including hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) maintains this export, last updated on 2026-05-15.

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 based on the density and types of amenities tagged.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is built from a free, collaborative global mapping project (OpenStreetMap).

Limitations

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