Puerto Rico Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap

Puerto Rico's health facilities are mapped in this dataset, which includes features like hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and doctors' offices. The data is an export from OpenStreetMap, maintained by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, and was last updated on March 3, 2026. It likely contains attributes such as names, addresses, healthcare specialties, and building information.

Use Cases

• Mapping healthcare facility locations based on geospatial coordinates.
• Analyzing facility types and specialities based on the 'healthcare' and 'healthcare:speciality' tags.
• Assessing facility capacity and operator type based on the 'capacity:persons' and 'operator:type' attributes.
• Geocoding and address validation based on the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' fields.

Strengths

• Includes multiple healthcare facility types, such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Provides data in multiple geospatial formats: GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE, and KML.
• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a collaborative, open-source mapping project.

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 date is March 3, 2026.
