Abstract

Measures of access to essential surgery in Mongolia have not accounted for natural barriers to movement, seasonality, and the modifiable areal unit problem scale effects. This physical accessibility analysis indicates natural barriers and seasonality threaten access to surgical care, shifting Mongolia from an attaining to a non-attaining country with estimates below the target population goal of 80%. Remote communities are particularly impacted, with access reduced by up to 6.1%. Spatial resolution of the input data influences the results by up to 14.2%. This highlights the importance of including natural barriers and seasonality in healthcare access scenarios using a fine spatial resolution.

绘制蒙古基本外科护理图：自然障碍和季节性是否会改变获得基本外科护理的机会？

对蒙古基本外科手术可及性的衡量标准没有考虑到自然流动障碍、季节性和可修正的面积单位问题的规模效应。这项实际可及性分析表明，自然障碍和季节性威胁着手术治疗的可及性，使蒙古从一个达到目标的国家转变为一个未达到目标的国家，其估计值低于 80% 的目标人口。偏远社区受到的影响尤为严重，可及性降低了 6.1%。输入数据的空间分辨率对结果的影响高达 14.2%。这凸显了使用精细空间分辨率将自然障碍和季节性纳入医疗保健获取情景的重要性。

期刊介绍： Applied Geography is a journal devoted to the publication of research which utilizes geographic approaches (human, physical, nature-society and GIScience) to resolve human problems that have a spatial dimension. These problems may be related to the assessment, management and allocation of the world physical and/or human resources. The underlying rationale of the journal is that only through a clear understanding of the relevant societal, physical, and coupled natural-humans systems can we resolve such problems. Papers are invited on any theme involving the application of geographical theory and methodology in the resolution of human problems.
