Health Facilities in Grenada from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap provides a free, collaborative world map built by volunteers. This export includes health facilities in Grenada tagged via `amenity` or `healthcare` keys, such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas usually well-mapped and remote areas potentially incomplete.

Use Cases

• Analyze healthcare service access based on facility types and locations.
• Plan emergency medical response routes based on hospital and clinic coordinates.
• Map healthcare coverage gaps based on the distribution of pharmacies and doctors.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from the OpenStreetMap project, a widely-used collaborative mapping platform.

Limitations

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