Abstract
Health is regarded as an integral component of well-being that contributes to the development of human capital. Therefore, the emphasis on improving health and inclusiveness of health services is increasing day by day. In this research, health taken as a public service in this context the current situation in health services and the spatial profile of accessibility to hospitals in Turkey aimed to determine. Quantitative research techniques were used in the study. Introductory statistics were used to analyze the current situation in health services, and network analysis was used to determine accessibility to hospitals. Both the introductory indicators on health services and the findings regarding accessibility show that the north-northeast of the country, especially the east of the country, are disadvantageous areas in terms of health services. The existing insufficiencies in health services in the these areas are a limitation in terms of the social well being of the population residing in these areas. This insufficiency also leads to a decrease in satisfaction with services, resulting in a decrease in subjective well being in these regions.
