Malaysia Healthsites: Operating Health Facilities with Location Data

Malaysia's list of operating health facilities includes attributes such as name, nature of facility, activities, and geographic coordinates. The dataset is provided by the Global Healthsites Mapping Project and was last updated on June 11, 2026. It is available in multiple formats including GeoJSON, CSV, and SHP.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare service coverage based on facility locations and types.
• Analyze the distribution of different facility natures (e.g., clinic vs. hospital) across regions.
• Plan logistics for health outreach programs using the geographic coordinates.
• Integrate facility data with population demographics to assess accessibility.

Strengths

• Includes geographic coordinates (Lat, Long) for spatial analysis.
• Available in multiple formats (GeoJSON, CSV, SHP) for different toolchains.
• Explicitly lists operating facilities, providing a current snapshot.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
