I think this is a case of “Things within other things”. How do we map
that? For the enclosing hospital, we know how to map that. But how do we
map individual parts within it?
e.g. St. James' Hospital in Dublin (OSM:
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/32015912 ), the hospital has it's own
phone number, `website` etc. Within that is a HIV (& STI) clinic
http://guideclinic.ie/ It has it's own website, and a specific location.
How should that be tagged?
Beumount Hospital ( https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22634348 ) has is
mapped and tagged. The Infection Disease service (
http://www.beaumont.ie/index.jsp?p=105&n=227 ) is “located on the ground
floor in St Johns ward”, and has a phone number & email address. How can
we map this?
OSM could do much better for indoor mapping, and for shopping centres or
train stations, that's easy. Add each `shop` or corridor. But what about
a (sorta of) clinic within a larger OSM object?

Thank you for the wonderful insights. Currently, what we are tagging is
the hospital. So for example, Manila Hospital (tagged as a hospital) we
add the tags like disease:hiv=yes. say that it is a treatment facility
and it dispenses hiv medicine. But what i am having difficulty is that
hiv facility is treated like a department. You can put in the email
address and contact details of the hospital but if I add the contact
details of the Hiv facility it then gets mixed with the hospital details.
In this case A hospital can have a clinic specifically for HIV, and a
clinic can also have a small office for HIV patients (not specifically
another clinic).
Thanks Joseph and Warin most. of the cases are really similar here.
For treatment hubs - yes this is for inpatients similarly for the one
you described. This is are mostly hospitals but in some cases clinics.
My problem here is that a big hospital has alot of contact details for
the hospital so the information and contact details for the hiv
treatment facility are mixed.
For hiv care - yes it is a bit of all a combination. I cant tagged it as
a pharmacy as it only releases specific anti-retroviral drugs.
Currently We are using this tagging system as assisted by the local OSM
community in the Philippines.

But I feel the feature gets overshadowed by the hospital/clinic/social
facility/office tag. Your thoughts would be very helpful.

Are you sure you mean "inpatient?" An "inpatient" facility, in
American English, is a hospital which has beds where patients are
cared for overnight.
This would be mapped as amenity=hospital for the main feature, most
likely.
> primary hiv care (dispensaries+testing)
You don't mention care by a nurse or physician, but I assume this is
an amenity=clinic (with physicians and nurses) which also has an
amenity=pharmacy in the same building. There might also be a
healthcare=laboratory at the location.
> testing centers/clinics (testing only)
Is this a doctor's office, or is there just a nurse, or just a
laboratory technician who can draw blood for the test? If there is a
doctor, it might be an amenity=doctors. If there is just a laboratory
for testing, that would be a healthcare=laboratory facility.
For the speciality, it's possible to use something like
healthcare:speciality=hiv if that's the only thing that the clinic
treats.
But here in Indonesia and back in the USA most clinics that treat HIV
also offer treatment for other infectious conditions, so a different
specialty like healthcare:speciality=infectious_diseases would usually
be more correct.
I see that in the Phillipines the tag "disease:hiv=yes" has been used:
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/disease%3Ahiv#map
In Indonesia and the USA you can get an HIV test at just about any
healthcare=laboratory and larger clinics and all hospitals. But if you
can only get this done at some specialized places in the Phillipines,
you could consider adding a tag like "hiv_testing=yes/no" for clinics,
doctor's offices, and laboratories.
Similarly, in the USA it's normal to be able to get hiv medications
from standard pharmacies. But if they are only available from a few
pharmacies in your country, you could add a tag like
"hiv_medication=yes/no" to an "amenity=pharmacy" facility.
It looks like "medical_service:antiretroviral_therapy=yes" has been
used in combination. That seems overlong and complex, so it would not
have been my first choice:
