The Ministry of Public Health of the Province of Chaco organizes all the health facilities through a Provincial System that provides health services to the people at central, zone and local levels. According to the Ministry, the Health System is structured on the basis of a zoning scheme that considers: Accessibility and coverage based on health needs. The circulation and reference natural population. Staggering Levels of Complexity of services. The provincial road network. The present study aims to analyze the first of the assumptions outlined by the health agency most relevant to our territory. We limited our analysis to the Gran Resistencia or Great Metropolitan Area of Resistencia (AMGR) and it will show the location and distribution of health centers in relation to the population that uses them, detecting the differential space-time accessibility.detecting the differential space-time accessibility.
