| description | Access to care in modern societies is actually considered as a right to which every citizen is entitled. It has been subject to studies on medical demography and, less often analyses that can be used actually to assess this accessibility. The authors quantify accessibility to healthcare using a model derived from graph theory. Accessibility to healthcare is multifactorial and the factors on which it depends are related to the density of the health offer, to its spatial distribution, time of access to care services, income and patient information. The authors do not address these aspects, but focus instead on the first three portions which are purely geographical. The results reveal disparities of access to healthcare are very complex in the studied area because they are not only due to a border context but also to a population gradient between the littoral and the back country. |
