One of the important aspects of community development is the development of health, and in other words, the amount and quality of the community access to health services. Since the necessity of any planning to provide services to the needy areas is to assess the status quo, the purpose of this article is to examine more deeply the differences between the cities of Kurdistan province in order to access the health centers and determine the extent of development in this field, so that the authorities use the results of this research in their regional and local decision and policy-making practically.The method of study is descriptive-analytical and case-study, and the method of collecting is a library method by which 36 indicators were collected in three sectors including institutional, human forces and specialized sectors through the Statistical Yearbook of 1393 and the information from the Statistical Center of Iran. Data were calculated based on linear TOPSIS technique and through Excel software, and GIS software was used to draw the map. The results show that the cities of Sanandajand Saqez are prosperous and developed, Qurveh, Bijar, Marivan and Banehare semi-prosperous and developing, and Divandarreh,Kamyaran,Dehgolan and Sarvabad are undeveloped and deprived.The results of the research based on the population size indicate that, 36% of the population of Kurdistan province are deprived of health services, 0.2% have moderate access and 44% of the population have relative access to health care. The results clearly indicate that among the cities of the province, health services have not been distributed in accordance with the population’s abilities and needs. It is therefore suggested that the evaluation of the health development to be done in the scale of hierarchy of village, county, city and province simultaneously, so that, in addition to explaining the regional differences, the intra-regional differences are also clarified and obviated.
