Saudi Arabia Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap, 2026 Export

OpenStreetMap features for Saudi Arabia matching healthcare-related tags, including hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. The dataset is an export from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team and was last updated in March 2026. It includes attributes such as name, address, healthcare specialty, and operator type.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare facility locations and density based on geospatial coordinates.
• Analyze facility types and specializations based on the 'healthcare:speciality' and 'amenity' attributes.
• Assess public versus private sector provision based on the 'operator:type' field.
• Support logistical planning for health services using address and capacity information.

Strengths

• Includes multiple name fields ('name', 'name:en', 'name:ar') for localization.
• Available in five common geospatial file formats (GARMIN IMG, GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, SHP, KML).
• Data is licensed under the Open Database License (ODbL-1.0).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap.
