Hello everyone, Thank you so much for the comments on the tags. This feedback is extremely helpful to ensure we are going down the right path, as there are indeed some details to work out. Hearing examples of how these tags (for example the insurance:health) would potentially be applied in various countries around the world, builds a better picture of the feasibility of putting it into practice. There have also been many comments on the staff_count:doctor and staff_count:nurse tags, regarding whether this pertains to the number of staff on average per day at the health facility, or the total number of staff that work there. And this is a very good point, which needs to be clarified as it can really make the difference.
I also hear the suggestion that each of the proposed tags should have their individual e-mails, so that this thread doesn't get too long and confusing. The idea was to share them as one so that readers would be able to see that they are all part of the large Global Healthsites Project, and then each tag would have its own discussion on their dedicated 'Discussion' pages on their proposed Wiki page. This would be the easiest to track the comments/suggestions of each tag, and allow for some external (to this thread) OSM user who comes across it on the wiki to follow the discussion and history of it. However, this is my first time proposing tags so I am very open to suggestions. We are taking into account all the comments and will hopefully come back with some collective thoughts on the suggestions within the next couple of weeks. I wanted to say thank you to Joseph Eisenberg, who provided me with some much needed guidance on how to approach this and would love to jump on a call with you at some point when you're free. Funny enough, I am based in the Lesser Sunda Islands but am currently travelling. Very interested to hear what brought you out there!
