Health Facilities of Myanmar from OpenStreetMap

Health Facilities of Myanmar is a geospatial dataset of hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists, tagged via OpenStreetMap's `amenity` or `healthcare` keys. The data is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-06-19. Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active, with urban areas typically well-represented and remote areas potentially sparse.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare service accessibility based on facility locations mentioned in the description.
• Plan emergency response logistics based on the distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Identify potential healthcare coverage gaps based on the described urban-rural mapping bias.

Strengths

• Includes multiple facility types: hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats: GEOPACKAGE, SHP, HTML, GEOJSON, and JSON.
• Source is OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Coverage is uneven; urban areas are usually well represented, while remote areas may be sparse.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
