Hi,<br>
<br>
we've completed the first import of the PAHO master list of medical
facilities into the OSM database. We've imported it semi-automatically
and we've merged already mapped hospitals with the information provided
by PAHO in order to avoid duplicates. In particular we've tried to
match the PAHO records with records formerly collected by Sahana. <br>
<br>
<b>Summary</b>:<br>
* imported 1104 health facilities from PAHO<br>
* resolved conflicts with already mapped hospitals in OSM <br>
* identified 56 potential duplicates (with two or more potentially
identical facilities but different PAHO ids) in the master list, see
this report for more details: <br>

* didn't import 3 chunks (~ 150 facilities) because their position
looked strange when we had a closer look at the data. <br>

<br>
<b>Next steps</b>:<br>
* to improve rendering of the facilities on OSM maps (in particular on
Haiti specific maps)<br>
* to implement scripts which propagate updates in the PAHO master list
to the OSM database<br>
* to import v2 of the PAHO master list using these scripts <br>
* later: to convert the tags used to tags compatible with the upcoming
Humanitarian Data Model <br>
<br>
@Kate: I've submitted four issues in your issue tracking sheet. Could
you check the potential duplicates and the issues with the facilities
lumped together in clusters at the same position? <br>
<br>
