Accessibility to healthcare facilities has generally been identified as a major indicator of development, and the
existing spatial pattern of distribution of healthcare facilities play very prominent role in gauging the level of
efficiency or otherwise of the existing level of provision of these facilities within any region. In this paper we
employed the use of locational quotient, which is a measure of spatial pattern of services, to examine the
distribution pattern of healthcare facilities in the thirty local government areas in Osun State, Nigeria. Twelve
indices, representing the totality of healthcare delivery by State and local governments in the state were used
for the analysis. Our findings indicated existence of gaps in access to healthcare facilities between local
government areas in the state, though the observed gap could not easily be attributed to rural-urban
dichotomy. We concluded that there was an urgent need for serious intervention on the part of the government
in the provision of healthcare facilities in the state, focused on equitable distribution and accessibility to
enhance regional development.
