I just converted it to an osm [1] file for JOSM. Many of the nodes appear to
hit the sides of mountains, a fair distance from nearby villages. Of course
looking at the nodes in towns needs local review to verify if 1) the node is
positioned accurately and 2) is the location a health facility.
Looking at just one node, listed as a primary health care facility, it was 150
meters from a hospital and about 75 from two different pharmacies.
I don't recommend importing until more review.

Yes, and yes to Pierre's notes on license and accuracy evaluation!
This reminds me of where HOT started and the health facility import to OSM
after the Haiti quake of 2010. That resulted in some good data but also some
horrible crap in the database (having lived and mapped there for 3 years) that
has wasted a huge amount of time later on (when trying to figure out how to fix
it) and still clutters the Haiti map in some places in a rather ugly, by now a
good amount outdated and also at times pretty significantly inaccurate way (+/-
2km not being uncommon).
Best intentions and horrible outcomes do at times go hand in hand. That's not
the end of things in itself -- but we need to learn from experience especially
when it's been significantly sub-optimal.
This said, locals / people with sound local knowledge need to evaluate accuracy.

Important to verify the opendata license. There are often restrictions and we
cannot import unless a signed agreement. Also some evaluation has to be made
about the quality of the data. Nama and Kathmandu Living Lab folks would be the
best persons to answer that.

Just received shapefile data for location of healthcare facilities in Nepal.
The source is apparently WHO, and i'm trying to find the source link, but
thought i'll pass it on anyway.
Data contains 8974 points with attributes of facility type (hospital, health
post, health center and a few others), district name, village council name and
code.
