@worldwideview/wwv-plugin-hospitals

WorldWideView plugin — Hospital locations worldwide.

Usage

This package is part of the WorldWideView plugin ecosystem. It provides the following capabilities:

• ID: hospitals
• Category: Infrastructure
• Format: static

Data Sources

Feature coordinates and metadata come from OpenStreetMap via the Overpass API:

OpenStreetMap data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

Used under the Open Database License (ODbL 1.0). The dataset is a snapshot of node["amenity"="hospital"] and way["amenity"="hospital"] elements (way centroids for ways) that carry a name tag. Elements without a name are dropped because unnamed hospital features are not usable as labeled points. Kept properties: name, operator, emergency, healthcare, and the OSM id. The snapshot was taken via the kumi Overpass mirror (https://overpass.kumi.systems/api/interpreter).

Installation

Typically installed via the WorldWideView Marketplace or discovered automatically. If installing manually in a Next.js setup:

npm install @worldwideview/wwv-plugin-hospitals

Architecture

This plugin adheres to the WorldWideView standard plugin structure. As a static plugin, it connects to the core Event Bus and renders map capabilities. The GeoJSON FeatureCollection is baked into data/data.json and raw-imported at runtime by an AutoStaticPlugin class (same pattern as wwv-plugin-data-centers).

Data Integrity

Run the fail-closed validator to check the data file:

node scripts/verify-data.mjs

Exits 0 on pass, 1 on any anomaly (FeatureCollection shape, Point geometries, coordinate ranges, required properties, duplicate ids).

Built for WorldWideView.
