Abstract
Sumy region has a well-developed and extensive regional health and medical care system in the region is provided by the administrative-territorial principle. However, health care facilities are located unevenly on the territory of the region; this has a negative effect on the level of medical services to the population. In addition, the network of medical health care institutions in theSumyregion is gradually reduced. On territorial access to health services affect particularly the network of settlements, distribution and density of health care institutions. To establish the territorial accessibility of medical services provided to the Central District Hospital (CDH) ofSumyregion was created schematic map. On this schematic map are marked the service areas of each such hospital with a radius of20 km, and also shows the radii of service units ambulance. In the Seredyna-Buda, Romny, Konotop, andSumydistricts many rural settlements are located outside the 20-km CDH service area, making it difficult to access them, as well as observance of the norms of the time of delivery of critically ill patients, etc.
