Health Facilities in Guinea from OpenStreetMap for Service Access Analysis

Guinea's 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 (HOT).

Use Cases

• Analyze service access based on the spatial distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Plan emergency response routes based on the locations of healthcare facilities.
• Map healthcare coverage gaps based on the presence of pharmacies and doctors.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Explicitly includes facility types such 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.
