Health Facilities in Luxembourg from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap exports provide health facility locations for Luxembourg, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Analyze healthcare service accessibility based on facility type and location.
• Plan emergency response routes based on hospital and clinic locations.
• Map gaps in healthcare coverage based on the distribution of doctors and pharmacies.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a widely-used, free, and collaborative global mapping project.
• Covers multiple health facility types, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats, including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

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