Serbian Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap for Service Access Analysis

OpenStreetMap volunteer contributions provide a geospatial inventory of health facilities in Serbia, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, which was last updated on 2026-05-15. Completeness of the map varies, with urban areas likely being more thoroughly mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare service access and gaps based on facility locations and types.
• Plan emergency response logistics based on the distribution of hospitals and clinics.
• Analyze urban-rural disparities in healthcare provision based on the described regional completeness variance.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Covers multiple facility types, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists.
• Released under the open ODbL-1.0 license.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region, with remote areas potentially being incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
