Modelling Accessibility to Primary Healthcare Facilities in Argungu LGA: Using Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MSGWR) Approach
Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
This study uses socioeconomic and demographic data to demonstrate the value of a novel multidimensional approach to healthcare accessibility. The optimum location for healthcare facilities in relation to demand areas was determined using location-allocation models and local multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) to explore spatially non-stationary relationships. The result shows that the potential accessibility of a community to primary healthcare depends on the geographic and socioeconomic characteristics of various places. The results of this study may be used to inform policy planning and decision-making for increasing accessibility to healthcare services, particularly in rural areas for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
