```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-health-facilities-guinea")
train = ds["train"].to_pandas()
test = ds["test"].to_pandas()

print(train.shape)
train.head()
```

## Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. 23 column(s) with >80% missing values were removed: `operator`, `source`, `speciality`, `operator_type`, `operational_status`, `opening_hours`.... 1 column(s) were cast from string to numeric or datetime based on parse-success rate (>85% threshold). The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

---

## Limitations

- Data originates from Global Healthsites Mapping Project and has not been independently validated by ESA.
- Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
- The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: `healthcare`.
- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/guinea-healthsites) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
