Health Facilities in Guatemala from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap export of health facilities in Guatemala, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project, which relies on volunteer contributions. Data completeness may vary, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Analyze healthcare service access based on facility locations and types.
• Support emergency response planning based on the spatial distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Map healthcare gaps by comparing facility density against population data.

Strengths

• Covers multiple facility types, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

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