Health Facilities in Singapore from OpenStreetMap, 2026 Export

OpenStreetMap exports provide health facility locations for Singapore, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) compiled this data, last updated in May 2026. Completeness varies, with urban areas likely better mapped than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map healthcare service gaps based on facility type and location.
• Plan emergency response routes based on proximity to hospitals and clinics.
• Analyze the distribution of pharmacies and dentists relative to population centers.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Includes a defined set of facility types (hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, dentists).
• Last updated on 2026-05-14, indicating recent collection.

Limitations

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