Note that in USA "dispensary" seems to primarily refer to shop=cannabis
(due to legal situation, with cannabis trade legal - at least at beginning -
solely for medical use)

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensary or
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=dispensary&t=canonical&ia=web

I have no idea what would be better name, but this one will
result in some confused USA mappers.

Is there any possible alternative name? If not, then this would be
OK, local USA meaning should not be considered as the most important.

But it would be nice to avoid this confusion.


> Additionally, despite dispensaries, a number of rural areas are still out of reach of any regular healthcare provider. Therefore the Ministry of Public Health in the DRC also recognized andorganized community healthcare provided by trained volunteers from the communities (these places are called "sites de soins communautaires"). These places have a particular focus on deadly diseases affecting children, they include prevention, health promotion and curative activities. Since these don't even have a single nurse as staff, I would like to propose a separate value such as healthcare=community_care or community_care_site.

Seems OK to me.

PS

I am not a fan of a healthcare key (result in weird mix of amenity and healthcare keys),
but it is quite pointless tag fidling.

amenity would be better here for consistency with amenity=hospital and so on.
