Use Cases

• Analyze healthcare service access based on facility locations and types.
• Plan emergency response routes based on the distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Map healthcare coverage gaps based on the spatial distribution of facilities.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, and GEOJSON.
• Derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative mapping project.

Limitations

• Completeness varies by region; urban areas are usually well-mapped, remote areas may be incomplete.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
