<div><div dir="auto">I think a department or a small office is a better primary tag for hiv treatment centers/ testing/ dispensary.

Right, that doesn't work. If the HIV clinic or department has<br>
different details, such as a different name, opening_hours, website,<br>
etc, then it will need to be mapped as a separate feature, such as an<br>
amenity=clinic node inside of the amenity=hospital area.<br></blockquote><div><br></div>Thanks for giving your view of the usage of amenity=clinic (and, by</div><div class="gmail_quote">implication, healthcare=clinic as the wiki states it's an alternative</div><div class="gmail_quote">to amenity=clinic). The wiki pages for healthcare=clinic and</div><div class="gmail_quote"> amenity=clinic don't seem to explicitly state that these tags are</div><div class="gmail_quote"> appropriate for units/departments/centres of hospitals.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">I agree with your view. The value "clinic" may not have been the best we<br></div><div class="gmail_quote">could have chosen but there doesn't seem to be any other value to use</div><div class="gmail_quote"> for the X-ray department, diabetes centre, renal dialysis unit, etc. of a</div><div class="gmail_quote"> hospital. Before the current crisis I was mapping my nearest general</div><div class="gmail_quote"> hospital and using amenity=clinic + healthcare=clinic in this way.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">The only reason to think otherwise is that the wiki page on healthcare</div><div class="gmail_quote">lists only two specialities for clinics: abortion and fertility, indicating that</div><div class="gmail_quote"> at least one person considered clinics to be standalone and not normally</div><div class="gmail_quote">part of hospitals.<br></div><div><br></div><div>So what's the consensus on clinics? If there is a consenus (rather than the</div><div>usual bunfight) I'll amend the wiki pages to make it explicit that clinic</div><div>can be used for units/departments/centres in hospitals.</div></div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>-- <br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Paul</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br></div></div>
