How To Read This Dataset

Start from the repository files and the dataset viewer when available.
Treat the README context as a fast orientation layer; confirm variable definitions and units in the data files before modeling.
Use explicit country columns when present. When geography is only implied by the title or source metadata, document that assumption in downstream analysis.
Preserve missing values until you have a defensible imputation rule.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-health-facilities-congo-dem-rep")
print(ds)

split_name = next(iter(ds))
table = ds[split_name]
print(table.features)
print(table[:3])

Convert To Pandas When Tabular

from datasets import Dataset

first_split = ds[next(iter(ds))]
if isinstance(first_split, Dataset):
    df = first_split.to_pandas()
    print(df.head())

Data Quality Notes

This card was standardized from the Electric Sheep Africa Hugging Face metadata inventory.
Exact schema, row counts, and source files should be inspected in the repository data files.
Metadata gaps from the inventory: upstream_publisher.
Do not infer policy meaning from labels alone; confirm definitions, units, and methods in the source material.
