Abstract

Health is one of the basic needs needed by everyone. Therefore, the government and community development should prioritize improving public health services. Hospitals in an area have an important role in community social services, especially health services. This research was conducted to assess hospitals’ distribution and availability and analyze the quality and health services in Metro City. The 2SFCA method was used to determine the level of accessibility in Metro City. The accessibility value could assess the distribution and fulfillment of existing hospitals in Metro City and analyze the quality and health services there. The distribution of hospitals in Metro City showed that, on average, the hospitals are spread over areas with a high population density. The level of need and fulfillment of hospital facilities in Metro City is appropriate because hospitals are directly proportional to the number of residents. The 2SFCA results also showed a tendency for accessibility between hospitals and cities where accessibility is high in areas around hospitals, such as the Central Metro Area. However, in some cases, an area that has a good level of accessibility does not necessarily get good health services. Inadequate accessibility indicated that the fulfillment of hospitals in Metro City has not been fulfilled and is spread evenly in each region. With high accessibility and fulfillment, people can access health services better.
