• Includes multiple facility types such as doctors, dentists, clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies.
• Attributes likely contain multilingual names (name:en, name:es) and address details.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, KML, and SHP.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
