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.
