It's also a duplicate of #2938.

Since #3731 healthcare=laboratory and other healthcare=* features are no longer rendered, reopening this issue.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:healthcare%3Dlaboratory

The tag healthcare=laboratory is used for a Medical laboratory: a place which performs analysis and diagnostics (physicochemical, biochemical, hematologic, immunological, microscopic, bacteriological, etc.) on body fluids such as blood, urine and faeces.

A medical laboratory is sometimes open to the public for sample collection, but may only accept samples which were collected elsewhere. It is equipped with measuring instruments, employing professional lab and medical staff. It may be an independent entity or a part of a hospital or clinic.

Used over 8000 times, most added in the past 3 years (mid 2018 to 2021).

It’s not clear if this should be rendered with the same color as public health care facilities like hospitals and clinics, since not all features are open to the public.

healthcare=laboratory has in just that few month since then risen to over 11 000 times and continues to rise steeply (possibly related to COVID-19). It is a bummer it does not get rendered at all. :cry:

I personally think same color would be just fine, but a different shade (red/pink) is just as fine too - after all we render amenity=veterinary in such colors, and it is not even intended for treating any humans at all!

But the specific shade is a minor detail which in my opinion blocks much more important thing, and that is to render healthcare=laboratory on the map. Would it be possible to show it again on the map, please? (Or what are the blockers if it is impossible currently?)

There is an open but stale PR for this: #4402 - https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/4402#issuecomment-835773449 contains some considerations that would be good to take into account (in addition to what @jeisenbe already mentioned above). Also to be considered: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/4282#issuecomment-760334301 - i.e. rendering healthcare=laboratory but not rendering healthcare=sample_collection might further incentivize the already widespread conflation of the two.

I think that healthcare=sample_collection should be rendered as well with a test tube icon, the same used by iD editor. In some countries there are multiple sample collection offices and few laboratories.
