Liberia Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide a dataset of health facilities in Liberia. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, which includes hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists tagged via OSM keys. The data was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

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

Limitations

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