Health Facilities in Liechtenstein from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap provides a free, collaborative map of health facilities in Liechtenstein. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported data tagged with `amenity` or `healthcare` keys, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being more thoroughly mapped than remote locations.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial access to healthcare services based on facility locations.
• Plan emergency response logistics based on the distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Identify potential healthcare coverage gaps in remote areas based on the known variability in OSM completeness.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is licensed under the ODbL-1.0, allowing for open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

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