Morocco Health Facilities: Trilingual Geospatial Data from OpenStreetMap

Geospatial records of medical infrastructure in Morocco exported from OpenStreetMap by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) as of March 2026. The data captures points and polygons representing clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, and specialized medical centers across the country.

Use Cases

• Spatial accessibility modeling using the amenity and healthcare tags to locate nearest emergency services
• Regional health capacity assessment by aggregating the capacity:persons field across provinces
• Linguistic mapping and localization using name:ar and name:ber attributes

Strengths

• Trilingual support with name fields for Arabic, Berber, and English
• Multiple export formats including SHP, KML, and GeoPackage
• Specific categorization via healthcare:speciality and operator:type tags

Limitations

• Crowdsourced data may contain positional inaccuracies or missing rural facilities
• Inconsistent population of the capacity:persons attribute
