Kyrgyzstan Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap provides a free, collaborative map of health facilities in Kyrgyzstan, including hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data on 2026-05-14.

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 by comparing facility density against population data.

Strengths

• Covers multiple facility types including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Data is licensed under the open ODbL-1.0 license.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete compared to urban centers.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
