Thailand Health Facilities from OpenStreetMap, Including Clinics and Pharmacies

OpenStreetMap features in Thailand tagged as healthcare facilities, including doctors, dentists, clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies. The dataset is an export by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) and was last updated on 2026-05-05. Features may have attributes such as name, address, healthcare specialty, and operator type.

Use Cases

• Map the distribution of healthcare facilities across Thailand based on OpenStreetMap tags.
• Analyze the types of healthcare services (e.g., clinics vs. hospitals) available using the 'amenity' and 'healthcare:speciality' attributes.
• Study facility ownership or management structures using the 'operator:type' field.
• Geocode health facilities for service area analysis using the 'addr:full' and 'addr:city' attributes.

Strengths

• Includes multiple healthcare facility types (doctors, dentist, clinic, hospital, pharmacy) as defined by OpenStreetMap tags.
• Provides potential multilingual naming with 'name', 'name:en', and 'name:th' attributes.
• Offers data in multiple geospatial file formats (KML, GEOJSON, SHP, GEOPACKAGE).
• Has a defined open 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 or contributor bias inherent to OpenStreetMap's crowdsourced nature.
