Functional analysis of health services in the city of Koisinjaq

Abstract

This research analyzes and evaluates the functional efficiency of health services in the city of Koysinjaq by examining the capacity of the health institutions, the range and quality of services they deliver, and their effectiveness in meeting the needs of the population. It aims to develop practical solutions to address existing gaps or mitigate their impact on the city's community. The research follows a descriptive and analytical approach, supported by quantitative analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques and recognized health indicators.

The results reveal a clear imbalance in the spatial distribution of the city’s 13 health facilities, with many residential areas lacking adequate access to these essential services. Furthermore, the study identifies notable gaps in adherence to national and international standards related to human resources and spatial planning across all health centers in the city. Given the need for more than one approach to the study, the descriptive and functional analytical approaches were adopted, with the aim of studying the spatial distribution of health institutions in the city of Koisanjak, relying on the relevant authorities to provide the relevant information. The Geographic Information Systems program and its tools were used to draw maps, locate and distribute health centers. In order to verify the extent to which the human resources comply with global and national health planning standards, the approved standards were adopted to monitor the locations of weakness and strength and ways to achieve the planning standards, and to estimate the city’s need for institutions and human resources to achieve comprehensive health development for citizens.
