Description:

Healthcare Service Centers

This point layer represents the location of facilities providing healthcare-related services, including medical assistance, clinics, pharmacies, and more.

This dataset includes hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare infrastructures that are essential for ensuring access to medical care in the Amazon region. These establishments play a central role in disease prevention and treatment, public health promotion, and emergency response to health crises and natural disasters. Spatial analysis of these centers allows for evaluating their territorial distribution, assessing population accessibility to medical services, and identifying gaps in healthcare coverage. This information is also key to planning strategies to strengthen health infrastructure and human resources, ensuring that communities, especially those in remote areas, have access to adequate medical services.

This dataset, compiled by AmazoniaForever360+ (2023), is an adaptation of publicly available data provided for illustrative and reference purposes only, with no application for emergency response. The data originate from the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. The layer represents healthcare service centers as geographic points.

• The HEALSERV field identifies the type of healthcare service provided, such as "pharmacy" (pharmacy), "dentist" (dentist), "doctors" (general practitioners), or "clinic" (clinic).
• The DSIGN field includes the specific name of the establishment, such as "Farmacia La Caridad," "Dentista KIDS," or "Casa 'Mi Salud'."

OpenStreetMap (OSM) Data

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a collaborative, open-source geospatial database that collects information on infrastructure and services worldwide. OSM data are organized into nodes, ways, and relations, each labeled with tags describing their function. To extract relevant information on healthcare services, higher education institutions, and security forces, specific tags are used, such as:

• Healthcare facilities: amenity=hospital, amenity=clinic, healthcare=*

These data are crucial for territorial planning, service accessibility analysis, and emergency management in the Amazon region.

GIS Applications Using OpenStreetMap Data:

OSM data are widely used in open-source GIS platforms for multiple applications, including:

• QGIS: Importing and analyzing OSM data using plugins like QuickOSM.
• PostGIS: Integrating spatial databases for advanced analysis and web mapping.
• GRASS GIS: Modeling urban infrastructure and service accessibility.
• MapServer and GeoServer: Publishing interactive maps with OSM data.
• Leaflet and OpenLayers: Developing web applications with dynamic maps.
