Abstract

A health care service is a prerequisite for sustainable development. This requires access to balanced health care facilities and services in different geographic areas. The first step is to identify inequality in access to health services in different areas. This study is a descriptive analytical study was carried out on the cities in Yazd province. The indices were weighted using Shannon entropy, then using the TOPSIS technique and the result were classified into categories in terms of the level of development across towns. The findings revealed that distinct regional disparities in health care services across Yazd province. Taft and Sadoogh cities were ranked as first and the last in terms of access to health care services respectively. Policy makers and managers should consider priority (regional planning, budget and resources allocation) according to the degree of development. Ethical issues should provide a broader perspective to policymakers.
