4) health_amenity:type I think the key "healthcare" should be used instead of the new key health_amenity:type". If it's necessary to tag an MRI facility separately, then create a tag like "healthcare=mri".
However, it may be more useful to use a tag like "mri=yes" on the main amenity=hospital or the radiology department within the medical centre - this tag would let mappers say that "this hospital contains an MRI" without requiring mappers to precisely locate the MRI equipment within the building. This would also make it easier for database users: they can just check for "amenity=hospital" + "mri=yes" rather than doing a spacial query to find MRI nodes within or near an amenity=hospital feature On 6/20/19, Mhairi O'Hara <mhairi.oh...@hotosm.org> wrote: > Hello Tagging Mailing List, > > We would like to bring your attention and comments on the proposal for the > staff_count:doctors and staff_count:nurses tags, which helps identify the > number of doctors and nurses at a given health facility [1][2].
