Service Access

For every mapped Ghanaian town and village, the straight-line distance in kilometres to the nearest health facility, pharmacy, school, university, market, bank or ATM, fuel station, water point and police station — and the name of the nearest one in each case. Distances are great-circle, not road distance, so treat them as a lower bound; both the settlements and the services come from OpenStreetMap, so a long distance can mean a remote village or an unmapped facility. Compiled by API Ghana from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). 7241 records.
