Health Facilities in Wallis and Futuna from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap volunteers provide a free, collaborative map of health facilities in Wallis and Futuna. The data includes locations tagged as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, and dentists. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely being better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Analyze healthcare service access based on facility locations and types
• Plan emergency response logistics based on mapped health infrastructure
• Identify potential healthcare coverage gaps based on regional mapping completeness

Strengths

• Includes multiple health facility types (hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, doctors, dentists) tagged via OSM's amenity and healthcare keys.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incompletely mapped.
