Health Facilities on the Isle of Man from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap provides a volunteer-built map of health facilities on the Isle of Man. The data includes hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists tagged via `amenity` or `healthcare` keys. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare service accessibility based on facility type and location.
• Plan emergency response routes based on the distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Identify potential healthcare coverage gaps by analyzing the density of facilities like pharmacies and dentists.

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped compared to urban centers.
