Lithuanian Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap for Service Access Analysis

OpenStreetMap data exports for Lithuania contain health facilities tagged via `amenity` or `healthcare` keys. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) provides this data, last updated on 2026-05-14, in multiple geospatial formats. Completeness of the volunteer-built map varies, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare service accessibility based on facility locations and types.
• Plan emergency response routes based on the spatial distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Identify potential healthcare coverage gaps based on the density of pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON) for flexibility.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-05-14 17:57:31.001292.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to OpenStreetMap, with urban areas likely being more complete than remote regions.
