Health Facilities in Paraguay from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap provides a volunteer-built map of health facilities in Paraguay. The data includes hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists tagged via `amenity` or `healthcare` keys. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare service access based on facility type and location.
• Plan emergency response routes based on hospital and clinic locations.
• Identify geographic gaps in healthcare coverage based on facility density.

Strengths

• Includes multiple facility types such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.

Limitations

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