Objective. To examine disparities in access to the public in Poland, in association of the resources of health care, socioeconomic
development of Provinces and their level of urbanization.
Materials and method. The Provinces were divided into four groups, using the quartile method, according to the
urbanization and level of socio-economic development. The socio-economic development level was identified by the
Human Development Index (HDI) for each Province. The urbanization level of each Province was determined by the Index
of Urbanization (URBI). Disparities level to access to public health care was identified by taxonomic measure of accessibility
(TMA), calculated using resources of health care data. TMA index was compared in the different regions, depending on the
level of HDI and URBI.
Results. There was no linear relationship between accessibility to public healthcare and socio-economic development of
each tested region, nor between accessibility to public health care in the Provinces and their urbanization level. During the
study, the correlation between the TMA and HDI and URBI alsdo produced a negative result.
Conclusions. An insufficient number of physicians and the limited value of contracts within the public health service may
cause a drop in the availability of the public medical service sector, regardless of regional level of urbanization and socioeconomic
development.
