OpenStreetMap exports of health facilities in Madagascar, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data from volunteer contributions, with completeness varying by region. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare service access based on facility locations.
• Plan emergency response logistics based on hospital and clinic locations.
• Identify healthcare coverage gaps based on spatial distribution of amenities.

Strengths

• Includes multiple facility types (hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, dentists).
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Data is licensed under the open ODbL-1.0 license.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are likely more complete than remote areas.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
