Pakistan Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap, Including Clinics and Pharmacies

OpenStreetMap features in Pakistan where the 'healthcare' tag is not null or the 'amenity' tag is one of 'doctors', 'dentist', 'clinic', 'hospital', or 'pharmacy'. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-03-03. Features may include attributes such as name, healthcare specialty, operator type, capacity, and address information.

Use Cases

• Map the distribution of healthcare facilities based on the 'amenity' and 'healthcare' tags.
• Analyze facility capacity and operator types for resource planning based on the 'capacity:persons' and 'operator:type' attributes.
• Geocode health facilities for routing or accessibility studies using the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' fields.
• Identify healthcare specializations available in different regions using the 'healthcare:speciality' tag.

Strengths

• Includes multiple facility types (doctors, dentist, clinic, hospital, pharmacy) as specified by the 'amenity' tag.
• Provides potential multilingual naming with 'name:en' and 'name:ur' fields.
• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, KML).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update is 2026 03 03 09:30:07.599386.
