Data sources
This site combines public records with facts from clinics' own websites. Our own checks are marked as such; imported records are not checked by us yet. These are the public sources we use, with their licenses. Each clinic page also lists its own sources and the date of the data.

Derived data: search filter index
The search filter on the home page loads one index file per language (filter-data.json). It is a derived database: its fields for a hotel within about 800 m, the nearest station and the nearest exit come from OpenStreetMap, so the file is released under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. Its other fields (clinic names, areas, specialties, hours) come from HIRA records under KOGL Type 1.

Clinic websites
Opening hours, languages listed and elevator notes sometimes come from a clinic's own website. The page for that clinic links to it.
Pages marked EXAMPLE use fictional data for testing and come from no source.
