Abstract
The results of the method show the spatial variation in access to these services. It is proposed to incorporate the spatial accessibility as an indicator of the territorial dimension in health that allows differentiating disadvantaged areas, in order to spatially reorganize services, and as a result, this disparity which must be corrected by the planners in the health sector might be solved. In addition, when comparing the level of access inequality between the different levels of territorial aggregation there are very evident contrasts by what the aggregation of information could hide very different realities as our data denote, hence you should consider the spatial dimension in the planning of services and not only regulatory aspects of staffing.
